1954

Cross Sales and Engineering Co. is founded by Bill Cross

Basic Sample Page 15

1962

Cross forms a partnership with Parker Hannifin and in that year Cross Company’s hose sales exceeded even Parker’s expectations; selling more in that first year than Parker had in the entire nation the prior year.

1967

A major growth spurt began in 1964 when we started our long-standing association with Vickers, now Eaton.  Our first branch was opened in 1967 in Greenville, SC. In 1967, our longstanding representation of Parker’s hose & fittings lines led to the origination of Hose Products Company. This group helped develop Parker distributors over a six-state area. 

1974

Acquisition of Edwards Engineering Co. – Atlanta, GA.

1979

​A significant event in our company’s history happened in 1979. That’s when ESOPs were first being promoted as a way for business owners to receive their equity, while also providing employees an alternative retirement savings plan that would be based on the future success of the company.  So we created one of the earliest ESOPs in the country in 1979.  Today, our proud associates own 100% of Cross Company.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
