About The Key Company:

OUR OVERVIEW AND HISTORY

THE KEY COMPANY  A BRIEF HISTORY:

With plenty of help from Dr. Miller and his wonderful nutritional supplements, Bud Ohlsen founded THE KEY COMPANY in 1959.

It started out slowly, but Bud worked hard selling Dr. Miller's products, never losing sight of one day selling his own vitamin and mineral supplements. There were many long days spent traveling to doctors' offices in Joplin and Kansas City, while evenings involved assembling literature and samples in his family living room in Kirkwood, Missouri.

From a small office on Kirkwood Road, to a mid-sized place on N. Harrison, to ultimately the office of his dreams on W. Essex Avenue, Bud realized his goal of spreading the message of the importance of nutrition.

With much scientific research, Bud was able to formulate products that help patients with many disorders including arthritis, acid reflux, heart disease and hormone imbalaces.  Bud insisted on using the finest ingredients and to this day we are proud to say we have not wavered. 

Bud passed away in April 2002, and in 2004 Bud's granddaughter, Anna Lane, took over her grandfather's legacy bringing her own savvy business smarts and experience to this company, always keeping her grandfather Bud's vision in mind.  Anna grew up as one of the healthiest kids on the block, because her grandparents raised her with the best nutrition available. One of Anna's fondest childhood memories is sitting in the family living room in Kirkwood bottling and packaging products so her grandpa could set out to hand deliver the fine Key Company products to chiropractors in Kanas City and Joplin. 

As Anna continues the legacy of Bud Ohlsen she, too, insists on using the finest ingredients and to this day is proud to say she has never strayed from his vision.
