Our History
On January 4th, 1960, the Murray A. Percival Company was founded. It was later incorporated in 1979 in the State of Michigan. Shortly thereafter, Murray was approached by the Electrovert Corporation, whom we still represent today, to sell their printed circuit board wave solder equipment. At that time, the use of printed circuit boards was somewhat rare. It was truly a risky business to enter, as the industry had not really emerged. Today, in our fast paced world, circuit boards are crucial components of our every day life. They are used in a variety of products including, but not limited to automobiles, medical equipment, military equipment, avionics, communications, computers, appliances and entertainment products. The use of electronics equipment is wide-spread and growing every day. In the 60's Murray was a pioneer servicing an emerging industry, one that has become a key component in the worldwide market of manufactured goods today. The Murray A. Percival Company is currently a leading supplier to the Midwest's electronic industry. The company is being managed by Murray's three children, Murray Jr., Mark and Pam. Most recently Murray III was hired by the company as a supply chain manager and thus represents the third generation.
Our Philosophy
The Murray A. Percival Company was built on Murray Sr.'s strong foundation of honesty, integrity, loyalty and just plain doing what's right. His main goal in business was not only to provide a place where he could earn enough money to support his family, but to be a provider to his employees and their families as well. He often said that their families were his families and it was important to him that they be given a chance to grow right along with the company. Growth not just measured financially but morally and spiritually as well. Today the company has developed into a solution provider not just a sales outfit.
Anyone can offer products, but few provide measurable results (solutions) that positively effect their customers bottom line. We strive to carry on with that same philosophy, taking care of our family, our employees and their families and our ever-growing family of satisfied customers.This same philosophy that built our company in 1960 is still present today.
