| | Aug 18, 2009 — SPRINGFIELD, OH - In 1929 the nation was introduced to the first Ford station wagon, the Academy Awards and R&M Material Handling, Inc®. It was then that R&M formed its hoist and crane manufacturing operation in Springfield, Ohio. Throughout the 20th century the company gained economic growth by offering a wide range of hoists, winches and overhead cranes to local automobile factories to include Westcott, Russell-Springfield, Kelly Steam, Frayer-Miller, the Ford Motor Company and Bramwell.
From the start R&M has proven to be as strong as the hoists it builds. It may come as no surprise to many that some of the first hoists developed, the S hoist platform, are still in use today. Throughout the years the product offering has expanded and we now sell hoists within the Crane Builder, Industrial Distribution and Entertainment Sales Channels. Our hoists can be found in manufacturing facilities, churches and arenas throughout the U.S., Central America, South America, North America and the Caribbean. The Stagemaker® concert hoist even made a special appearance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies and most recently in the new Dallas Stadium. Since its inception 80 years ago, R&M has proven to be a diverse technology leader guided each day by three core values; innovation, performance and reliability. Our innovative approach to product design and development coupled with superior product and customer service support; validates our commitment to excellence.
For over three-quarters of a century, R&M has operated successfully in a highly competitive and technically challenging marketplace; where fast-track product development and competitive advantage are key components to ensuring success. As we look back over the past 80 years, one thing is certain; our success is a direct result of devoted employees and customers dedicated to the brand. During the next 80 years we will continue to exceed customers’ expectations and deliver superior customer service. We proudly celebrate 80 years of innovation, reliability, and performance and are eager to forge ahead into the next 80 years.
