Motion Controls was originally
known as Pillar Motion Controls. Pillar Corporation
purchased the cylinder line from Alkon Corporation in 1986 as
an attempt to expand their product line and subsequent market
expansion. Pillar Corporation was largely unsuccessful in
promoting this aspect of the business and the product line was sold
to a group of investors in 1990, and renamed Motion Controls,
Inc.
The group of investors was made up of
people who had been involved in the fluid power industry for many
years, and understood the needs of the market place, something that
Pillar Corporation had lacked. The business grew and many of
the problems which had plagued Pillar Corporation were
rectified.
In the Spring of 1999, the group of
investors voted to sell the corporation. The assets were sold to a
private concern and Motion Controls LLC. opened January 1,
2000 with all of its previous experienced employees. We have
continued to flourish since then.
Here is an original Alkon drawing we
have from 1964, showing the Alkon connection to Motion Controls LLC. |
