Mahaffy retiring from Medallion Industries and Kodiak
Kodiak Building Partners announced that Tim Mahaffy is retiring from his position of President of Medallion Industries, effective June 30.
From the age of 17, Mahaffy worked alongside the founder of Medallion Industries and helped grow it to become a market-leading window, door, and millwork operation in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.
It has been said that founder “Norm Tschida laid the foundation, and Tim and his business partners built the house.”
Mahaffy became the company’s president in 1998 and later the majority owner. His tireless work ethic, vision, and remarkable intellect grew Medallion into a $40-plus million operation.
Besides its growth and an enviable reputation, a great source of pride for Tim has been leading and cultivating many multi-generational employees that have served the company, along with numerous long tenured Medallion team members.
Medallion is a distributor of windows, doors, glass wall systems, millwork, and door hardware that has locations in Portland and Bend, Ore. and Livermore, Calif. They serve residential projects, as well as light commercial.
Julie Nix, the COO, vice president and former owner at Medallion, worked alongside Tim for 40 years and said that she feels honored to have been mentored by such a respected and fair leader. She found him to be the smartest man that she has ever known while being selfless and having “a heart as big as the moon”.
Mahaffy and the other owners decided to sell Medallion in 2020 and knew that Kodiak was the right acquirer.
“I was confident that Kodiak would not reinvent Medallion but only enhance it with additional resources and support,” Mahaffy said, noting that the company’s legacy and job security for the more than one hundred employees were his priorities.
Knowing that the company is in good hands, Mahaffy looks forward to traveling with his wife, spending time on the Oregon coast, hiking, supporting community organizations, and playing and enjoying the piano.
Kevin Mahaffy will be promoted to president of Medallion Industries. He most recently served as vice president of sales and has been a part of Medallion for more than 20 years.
Kodiak Building Partners and Medallion Industries said it congratulates Mahaffy on his impressive career and wishes him great joy in his retirement.
Based in Highlands Ranch, Colo., Kodiak operates 83 locations in 20 states.
