The History of Americon
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
In 1912 you could buy a dozen eggs for 22 cents, a quart of milk for 12 cents and a new Ford Model T for 690 dollars. The country was changing rapidly as one million women voted in the presidential election for the first time in history and the Titanic embarked on its fateful voyage.
It was in 1912 that Angelo Kiminas started a small painting company servicing the growing industrial base in Cleveland, Ohio. Angelo, a recent immigrant from Chios, Greece used not only his skills and experience but his dedication to quality and integrity to quickly grow his fledgling enterprise. In the 1940s, John Coutris joined his father-in-law, Angelo, in the business. The business soon branched into residential as well as commercial painting and expanded quickly.
By the late 1960s, Angelo Coutris, John’s son, was brought into the business and by 1980 he formed Americon Incorporated. The company soon added general repair and restoration to its repertoire of services. With businesses and home owners hungry for quality, fairly priced services from a company they could depend upon, Americon Incorporated grew quickly.
Having earned the trust and loyal of an ever-growing customer base, Americon Incorporated began getting requests for assistance from people who had experienced both small as well as catastrophic losses to their home or business. The family owned and operated company soon became a premier provider of disaster restoration service to residential, commercial and institutional customer across northeastern Ohio. Americon Incorporated rapidly earned a reputation as a leader in the industry. The company has built a strong team of skilled professionals specializing in the unique industry of Disaster Restoration.
Many things have changed since 1912. However, some things have remained the same. Today Americon Incorporated, even though it has grown substantially, is still family owned and operated and still adheres to its founder’s dedication to quality and integrity.
