1989

Custom programming and modifications were done in a variety of industries including banking, manufacturing (BPCS), wholesale distribution, food distribution, retail distribution, dry goods, construction management, restaurant payroll, trucking (TL & LTL), lumber yards.

 

1997

MHC Consulting changed its name to MBMA Corporation and incorporated in the state of Iowa.

2000

At the suggestion of Qualis Group, LLC, we launched the OriginalUdderBalm.com website.

We began marketing via the internet and shipping Original Udder Balm around the country to individual consumers. This was MBMA's first venture outside of a strictly service business. As this business grew, we added Dionne Udder Balm and other Dionne Animal health products, along with the Martex Line of Animal Health Products. All these products were manufactured and owned by Quailis, Group LLC. Des Moines Iowa.

 

2001

OriginalUdderBalm.com website began shipping to smaller mom & pop stores at wholesale on a limited basis.

 

2003

OriginalUdderBalm.com does its first of many retail shows, the Pet Expo in Des Moines Iowa, to showcase the many animal health products carried on the website.

Metal 'Wind Spinners' are added to the line to attract new customers to our retail booths.

 

We began doing AKC dog shows in addition to the Pet Expos.

 

2004

Moving away from generic mass produced wind spinners, we began looking for an artist who could do unique designs just for us. Our search led us to B.Hickman, one of the best know artist in the professional dog show world.

Beth began providing us with unique designs, and wee contracted to have them made into a variety of metal work items specifically for us.

We also began working with Qualis Group LLC to develop our own product line called 'ubalm'. It was designed to be a high end line of products which would not be unusual to find in stores such as Younkers, Macys or other high end establishments and salons. In order to make sure that the products could be exported to Canada from day 1, all labels, designs and marketing information was designed with that in mind. All label designs included French & English, and were submitted to Health Canada for approvals.

 

2006

Agreement reached with B.Hickman to purchase the 'dog art' business including all artwork and all rights to artwork that had been created over previous 30 years. Artwork includes 4500+ original canine art designs. MBMA Corporation would begin manufacturing all heat applied transfers and other products and would become the sole supplier to current B.Hickman vendors.

Final approval from both Canadian and US governments received for ubalm label designs.

ubalm product line is officially launched to market.

 

2007

All 'Canine Art' products and retail shows are now handled under the name WitchWynds Designs.

Vinyl silhouettes are added to the product line using B.Hickman designs.

Qualis Group LLC closes its doors (out of business)

We secure formulas for all our products to ensure they are protected and will be produced unchanged.

We secure all rights to continue manufacturing and marketing Original Udder Balm (previously owned by Qualis Group LLC)

 

2008
