Our History
In 1970, our founder, Vernon L. Melton, rented a space in St. Louis, MO, to start his business, Melton Machine & Control Company. Only five short years later, business had boomed and Vernon moved the company to Washington, MO, where he’d built a larger facility that better enabled us to meet the increasing demands of our customers.
Today we’re still headquartered in Washington, MO, and operate out of a 365,000-square-foot facility on the aptly named Melton Drive. We’ve been 100% employee-owned since 1985, and continue to grow our workforce and innovative offerings to fuel the success of our clients.
