Our History

The company started as a proprietorship under the name of Joe Ahrens Special Services on May 1st 1973. The goal of this initial company was to provide Hampton Roads, Virginia expertise in Machine Tool Automation and Machine Tool Productivity improvements.

From the outset, the company was growing by word of mouth, and by an increasing number of European companies locating in Hampton Roads and subcontracting the company as support for start up. Stihl Incorporated, the chainsaw manufacturer, was the first account. The company was growing rapidly and to secure the future, it was incorporated in October 1976.

As the company grew different business segments were defined leading Joe Ahrens, Inc to split of into three companies: Joe Ahrens Inc. continued to consult, Newport Machine Tool Corp. provided machine tools, and Die Tool and Mold, Inc. performed contract manufacturing services.

In the spring of 1982 Joe Ahrens, Inc secured a distribution agreement from Willy Vogel AG, of Germany, a manufacturer of centralized lubrication systems and components. Vogel had no representation in North America and Joe Ahrens, Inc filled the gap. The sales of lubricating devices grew rapidly, driven first by the successful sales of wheel flange lubrication to the Class A railroads. During the first four years, sales of lubrication devices and systems grew from $50,000 to over $5,000,000.
