Meteor Education Expands Its Footprint into the Heartland

Gainesville, FL – October 1, 2021:  Today, Meteor Education announced the expansion of its footprint in the heartland, joining forces with Premier Furniture & Equipment.   

“Premier F+E has become the partner of choice for so many school districts throughout Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota.  We are privileged by the opportunity to work with this tremendous team, led by Roger & Sally Johnson.” said Bill Latham, CEO of Meteor Education.  “The culture and customer relationship focus of both our organizations are an amazing fit.  The expansion into the Heartland with this talented team allows us to bring new levels of service and solutions to Premier’s strong client relationships.”

“When we started Premier in 2016, Sally and I were committed to building trusted relationships with our customers, suppliers and teammates.” said Roger Johnson, President of Premier F+E. “Our growth since then has been nothing short of amazing and could not have been possible without our incredible team and the countless opportunities that our clients have provided. When we began talking with Meteor Education about a partnership, we were drawn to the incredible similarities of our companies and the intense focus of enhancing student outcomes.  The most exciting part of becoming part of the Meteor team is knowing that both our team and our clients will benefit mutually from all that Meteor offers.” 

Premier F+E, now powered by Meteor Education, will continue to operate from Shell Rock, Iowa where there is an amazing showroom experience that clients regularly visit.  Premier is known for their friendly heartland welcome into their Shell Rock location and for providing a personal and local customer experience for each of their clients.  Premier F+E, powered by Meteor Education, will continue to provide this same experience, with the same great team with the added resources, tools, and operational support of Meteor Education. 

The company goals of Premier F+E and Meteor Education are the same.  We want to transform the lives of students by understanding the unique needs of each school district.  We will continue to work closely with our clients on the local level providing a personal and attentive customer experience while making a positive difference in the lives of many.
