Manville Electric Motor Company's history began in the early 70s in Connecticut it began its first shop, Precision Devices. After many successful years, it saw the growing Southeast as the market with the most potential in the material handling industry. An opportunity became available with Alabama Handling, so Precision Devices was sold, and the new business in Birmingham Alabama began.

The new company Alabama Handling was a Raymond dealership which we began operating in 1980. The Raymond Corporation had been around since 1968 and was expanding its market considerably. Not knowing what direction the Raymond Corporation was going to be headed, Manville Motor Company Inc was formed.

In 1983 a truck full of parts and motors and one of the co-owners of the company drove down to Bradenton, Florida and started Manville Electric Motor Co., Inc. As we thought, the Raymond Corporation gave Carolina Handling the opportunity to expand their market, at which point Alabama Handling was purchased.

With our success in Florida a second shop for Manville Electric Motor began here in Birmingham Alabama. The other owner started off with a 1000 square foot shop that quickly grew to 3000 feet the following year, then to 10,000 square feet the next, and then finally to our current size of 18,000 square feet.

With our more central location in Birmingham Alabama we decided to combine our 2 shops and be in a better position to serve the entire Southeast.
