About Marjorie A. Graf
Marjorie Graf has over 40 years experience in the financial field. She is the Vice President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Graf & Sons Inc. which is a wholesale sporting goods store based in Mexico, Missouri. They sell sporting goods, hunting products, ammunition, shooting and reloading materials on a national scale. Graf & Sons, Inc. was founded in 1957 by Arnold Graf, his wife Velma, their two sons Bob and Howard, and their spouses. What has become known as “The Reloading Authority” first started as a gasoline service station in Mexico, Missouri that sold boats, motors, hunting and fishing merchandise. Bob and Marjorie Graf became sole owners of the business after the passing of co-founder Arnold Graf in 1972 and the retirement of Howard Graf in 1981. In 1986, Bob and Marjorie started to advertise across the board and began to sell internationally with the help of UPS. In the beginning they shipped just 1,000-2,000 products a year but with the creation of their website, www.grafs.com, in 2001, the product lines expanded to fit the need. The company has remained family owned but, with the full retirement of Bob in 2014, they named Paul Seigfreid the company president to help tackle the management of the company. Still very involved in the day-to-day, Marj and Paul have formed an alliance for their plans in the management of the company for the years to come. Today, Graf & Sons stocks over 20,000 products and ships both nationally and internationally by mail order, phone sales, and internet sales.

In 2013, Graf and Sons, Inc. was recognized by the Mexico Chamber of Commerce for their leadership in business, their retail business and their philanthropy and was honored at the 29th annual Commerce & Industry Appreciation Dinner.

Marjorie specializes in finance and the overall operations. She also oversees the exporting side of the business, customer service and sales. Previously, she served in sales and service at Mexico Refractories and Kaiser Refractories for over 16 years. Marjorie was recently honored on the Reuters Billboard in Times Square in New York City.

Sadly, Marjorie’s husband Bob passed away in 2018. She enjoys family activities with her four children, five grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. In her spare time, Marj also enjoys shooting, camping, hunting, fishing, cooking, and church activities.
