Keith and Cindy Benthin
Owners

Meet the owners of this family operated business! Together they have three daughters. Keith’s parents purchased Mulder’s in 1976 from Don Mulder. A lot of people think, or assume, Keith’s last name is Mulder because of the name of the business. However, Bob and Esther continued on with the name after they purchased the business. Keith started working for Mulder’s in 1975, working for Don Mulder. He worked for Mulder’s for 27 years until 2002 when he felt a calling to go into youth ministry. After lots of prayer, Keith felt called to leave his current employment and come back to Mulder’s and continue the company. He wanted to continue Mulder’s not only because it was a family business, but for all the employees that relied on him to provide a job for them. He wanted Kalamazoo to continue having a moving business where their customers receive everything they have been promised. Hard work and honesty is something he requires of all his employees, asking that they always deliver more than expected.

He was the lead supervisor at the time and then moved into dispatch for 2 ½ years. Mike returned to Michigan and Mulder’s in 2010.
