History
Established in 1981.
Prior to 1981, 3A Marine Service was a proprietorship owned by Edwin Lofgren who was a full time high school teacher and part time at the business.
By 1988,our accountant gave Ed a choice - run the business full time or sell to someone who would. The former route was chosen.
Growth was spawned by our service orientation. Today, 3A Marine Service has a reputation as one of the best marine service facilities in Massachusetts. Customer service is, and will remain, a focal point for the business.
We have developed a successful Parts And Accessories Department, managed by Ed's daughter Melanie Krause, who is set up as the heir-designate for the business.
In 2005, 3A Marine Service became one of the first U.S. Marine Industry 5-Star Certified Dealers. We consider this to be a great honor and we will strive to continue to excel in facility management, operations and customer service to remain a certified dealership.
Meet the Business Owner: Ed L.
In the last few years, Ed has had the opportunity to serve the industry outside of the business.
3A Marine Service is a member of Massachusetts Marine Trades Association (MMTA), Marine Retailers Association of America (MRAA), and Save the Harbor/Save the Bay (SHSB). Mr. Lofgren is a past President of MMTA and serves on the Board of Directors for SHSB, MMTA and MRAA. One interesting sidelight here is SHSB participation in the development of the newly created Boston Harbor Islands Park.
3A Marine Service, Inc. has also endorsed the The Ocean Campus Center, a new post-secondary school for marine and environmental technicians. Groundbreaking on the new college campus is slated for 2014 in Marshfield, MA. New generations of boat and engine technicians will be educated and trained at this facility.
