Sol J. Berger

1913-1988

The evolution of Merchandising Inventives, Inc.began in Chicago in 1946. Sol Berger, the founder of Merchandising Inventives, Inc. gained national recognition with his "Display Mobiles", the first hanging free-motion displays ever used in retail stores. Mr. Berger pioneered the idea of utilizing the ceiling of retail stores as an important facet of advertising.

Mr. Berger's ingenious P.O.P. advertising ideas were recognized by POPAI when he was inducted into the "P.O.P. Hall of Fame" in 1999. Even today, advertisers who are searching for creative placement of their in-store display promotions are realizing what an integral part the ceiling plays in their campaigns.

Today, Merchandising Inventives, Inc. has grown to become a leading supplier of P.O.P. merchandising systems and accessories to retailers, brand marketers, ad agencies, display companies and printers. Our products include sign holders, stock corrugated displays, literature holders, shelf-edge labeling systems, display hardware, ceiling display systems and a variety of product merchandisers including merchandising strips, suction cups, acrylic displays and display hooks.

MI's primary areas of expertise include design, engineering, manufacturing, and fulfillment of P.O.P. hardware, accessories and displays.
