"This rebrand represents more than just a new name — it's the start of a new chapter in our company's story," said Nicole Baltes, president of BFirst.

According to Baltes, the BFirst identity builds on the company's mission to put customers first. The company’s new tagline, What you need. When you need it.” captures the company’s commitment to going beyond filling orders.
"For decades, our customers have trusted us to deliver the right solutions at the right time," said Aryn Young, marketing director at BFirst. "While our name has evolved, our commitment to being an extension of our customers' teams remains unchanged.”
Youn said the BFirst name reflects both the company’s heritage and it’s promise to put customer success at the forefront.
The rebrand is effective immediately with new signage, marketing materials, and digital assets will be rolled out across all locations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
