The firm was sold to CB Richard Ellis in 2007, where Krombach continued to run the St. Louis operations until April 30 of this year. Throughout this period, Maune remained focused on running The Maune Company. <br /> <br />Krombach founded Peter B. Krombach &amp; Associates in 1980, which was succeeded by several other firms over the years, most notably Nooney Krombach Company from 1986 to 1997.
