Recognizing a need for industry specialists, Greg Edmonds established Drive Products in 1983 to supply products and systems to the Truck Mounted Equipment industry in Ontario. The foundation was set with a leased 3,000 sq.ft. building in Toronto, three employees, and $100,000 starting inventory. Drive Products’ success continued in the form of exponential growth with help from partners with a wealth of knowledge and experience who shared a common vision. Operations were expanded through the addition of branch locations and the integration of driveline and cable manufacturing. The company strengthened its market position by securing an exclusive distribution arrangement with Muncie Power Products and by acquiring additional complimentary product lines.
