A SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty Case Study
USA Gypsum, also listed as Agri Marketing, Inc. dba USA Gypsum, is a Reinholds, Pennsylvania business founded in 1998 that recycles gypsum drywall scrap into natural gypsum products for lawns and agricultural use. The company’s challenge was building a sustainable, profitable model while managing debt and finding the right gross profit margins for new recycled gypsum products.
With help from SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty mentor Lou Davenport, USA Gypsum evaluated its financial structure, conducted research and development on new products, and secured new loans to strengthen its footing. As a result, SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped USA Gypsum significantly increase profitability and reduce its reliance on debt, while the company continues to refine its business model for long-term success.
