Family and business have always been an important part of the Gellerman tradition. That’s because their business, originating in Rock Island, IL was born from family, starting with founder, Herb Gellerman. In 1947, Herb and a partner became pioneers in the wholesale distribution business with the formation of Jaydon, Inc. In 1962, Herb Gellerman made his first move at diversifying into real estate. He and another partner formed Hawkeye Real Estate Investment Company.
