Morris Group, Inc.

Corporate Values

Robert E. Morris and his wife, Dorothy (Dot) Morris founded The Robert E. Morris Company in 1941. It was built upon strong and enduring values that continue to guide all Morris Group, Inc. companies today. Treating customers, principals, suppliers and employees with respect, humility, honesty and fairness defines our corporate culture.

We strive to maintain the highest standards of personal and professional behavior. We believe that staying competitive means embracing continual change and new technologies; we seek out employees who are bright, dedicated, entrepreneurial and open to change.

Robert and Dot's family values are evidenced in the successful handing down of The Robert E. Morris Company to their son, Lee, and grandson, Brad, who uphold the same traditions, possess the same inherent values, and apply the same guiding principles while growing the company. Lee Morris and Brad Morris are ever mindful of their customers' needs to manufacture more precise and complex parts...profitably...in North America.

Drawing on one of the largest pools of process expertise and intellectual property, Morris Group dedicates our employees, partners, and resources to providing solutions that enable our customers to do more, with less.

The Early Years

Robert E. Morris was a 28-year-old "machine tool guy" when he started The Robert E. Morris Company in 1941 with his 23 year-old wife, Dorothy "Dot" Morris. They didn't know it then, but Robert and Dot started a company with real staying power. Today, The Robert E. Morris Company, Rem Sales, Monster Accessories and Morris Group, Inc. corporate offices are housed in our stunning Tech Center in Windsor, Connecticut, not far from where it all started.

A Family Business

Lee Morris was a successful salesman at IBM when he decided to join The Robert E. Morris Company in 1968. The father-son team grew the business from $6 million to $150 million in sales and increased the number of employees from 25 to nearly 300 in a span of twenty years through acquisitions and establishment of new divisions.  

In 1988, Robert E. Morris, died. It was a sorrowful time for our company and the entire U.S. machine tool industry. Robert had made such a positive impact within the industry that the American Precision Museum, a National Historic Landmark in Windsor, Vermont, dedicated a wing in his honor. Dorothy played an active role in supporting the efforts of this organization until her passing in 2010.

Morris Group, Inc. is Formed

In 2004, Lee established Morris Group, Inc. to provide capital structure, centralized banking, insurance, information technology infrastructure, human resources, and marketing services to its divisions.

Lee's son Brad worked his way up through the ranks of the company before being named President of Morris Group, Inc. in 2006.  Brad designed our world-class Tech Center in Windsor, Connecticut and like his predecessors, has a "hands on" approach to problem solving and customer service.

Today, Morris Group, Inc. consists of 13 operating divisions throughout the eastern and central sections of the United States. Headquartered in an ultra-modern facility in Windsor, Connecticut that opened in 2007, Morris Group, Inc. has annual revenues of over $300 million and employs about 400 people, including 220 parts and service technicians and applications engineers.
