Discover the who, what and why behind

Five Star Rep Group was first started as Abernathy Sales in 1970 by a retired WWII veteran named Machen Abernathy. Abernathy’s first product line was Pioneer Quick Coupling, now a division of Parker Hannifin. His continued hard work and dedication laid the groundwork for Five Star to become a successful manufacturers’ representative corporation. Machen Abernathy passed away in November 2007, but our values and principles still mirror his philosophy of honesty, integrity, hard work, and customer relations. As proof, we still represent Pioneer Quick Coupling over 45 years later, along with many others with whom we have worked with for over 30 years.

Today, Don is the owner and president of Five Star Rep Group. Through the same grit and determination that Machen built the company with, Don has expanded Five Star into several different industries, territories, and capabilities, having more than tripled the business since its inception. At Five Star Rep Group, we are proud of our heritage. We have a culture of gratefulness and fervent dedication. We remember the days of old while constantly striving to be at the cutting edge of the days to come.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

From our humble beginnings in 1970 throughout our storied history since, Five Start Rep Group has remained true to our mission statement: We are a company founded on integrity with the desire to build long-lasting relationships by providing professional sales, faithful service and innovative consulting.
