Elmco Sales Inc., originally
named Earl L. Morris Company. Started in, 1945.
In 2005, we celebrated our 60th year in business.
Earl Morris (1913-2003) was born in Los Angeles,
California. During World War II, he sold pipe valves and fittings and
other related products to many of the Southern California ship yards.
In late 1940, Earl was quick to recognize that the
type of products he enjoyed selling were specified by the engineer, and
sold and installed as specified, to far greater degrees than products
that were just a named or equal.
When Earl started his own business in 1945, called
Earl L. Morris Company, the company was formed on the principle of
selling the finest engineered plumbing products available. In 1951 and
in the late 1950’s the name was changed to Elmco Sales Inc. (ELMCO is
an acronym for Earl L. Morris Company).
Elmco Sales Inc. is headquartered in City of
Industry, California, serving as corporate headquarters, with central
accounting, Human Resources, and all insurance and general corporate
offices for all the Elmco’s. Don Morris, as Chairman of the Board/CEO,
works with each of the independent divisions under the Elmco group. Don
started in the representative business out of College in 1969, first in
various sales positions, later as President, and the last decade as
Chairman. Don states: “Elmco has represented many of our family of
companies, such as J.R. Smith Mfg., for over 50 years on a handshake
and a 30 day contract. The representative business depends on trust and
a mutually profitable relationship between the manufacturer and the
manufacturer’s representative. It is a marriage and can go through ups
and downs, but if the trust can be maintained, the relationship can
last and last.
