Metric & Multistandard Components Corporation is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the opening of its office and warehouse in Texas. The Texas branch opened on September 6, 1976, and it has been open continuously since then. The Texas office is one of 5 locations that MMCC has in the U.S. MMCC was founded in 1963 in Yonkers, NY. After several years the company moved to Elmsford, NY, and then in 1974 they built the current headquarters in Hawthorne, NY. That same year the company opened its first branch office outside of Chicago, IL. The Chicago office was a success, and demand for metric-dimensioned fasteners and related items was growing, so a decision was made to expand into the Southwest. Dallas was chosen for its central location and favorable business climate. In early August 1976 John Longyear, who was Assistant Sales Manager, and Chris Longyear, who was the company buyer, drove from NY to Dallas. They spent the next month getting the location ready to receive and process orders. The branch in Dallas opened the day after Labor Day, 1976. Metric sales continued to grow, and the Texas office acquired many new customers. The original location was only 4000 square feet in a long industrial building in northeast Dallas. When the lease came up, the space next door was taken over, so the branch grew to 8000 feet. That was not enough, and in a short time one more adjacent space was taken over for 12,000 square feet total. In 1999 MMCC/Texas moved to its current 24,000 square foot building at 2200 Century Circle in Irving, Texas. The location is centrally located off of freeways and has room to maintain the necessary inventory and to move product in and out. The expanded Irving location has allowed the Texas office to give a higher level of customer service to distributors throughout the Southwest. There are many local distributors who pick up their orders at the branch warehouse on a regular basis. The Texas office has a fully stocked warehouse carrying a whole range of metric industrial supplies. The business is BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE TOP: MMCC IN IRVING, TEXAS BOTTOM: CHRIS AND JOHN LONGYEAR predominantly fasteners, but a wide range of related items is also in the product line, including cutting tools, wrenches, and pneumatic and hydraulic tubing and fittings. The branch has full online access to the other 4 company locations for items that are not stock in Texas, and offers same day shipping on most orders. There is a full sales department in Texas, including 3 sales reps who are fluent in Spanish. All but one of the sales reps in Irving have been with the company for 15 years or longer. This experience allows the branch to answer most “metric” questions, offer solutions to problems, and make sure the customers get the right product. Having the sales staff on site allows MMCC to give optimum service, as they can physically check items when necessary and insure that any special requests get met. Metric & Multistandard has a sister company in Germany which the Texas office is in contact with on a daily basis. The German office serves as a purchasing and freight consolidation office, sending a weekly Air shipment and regular Sea shipments to the NY headquarters. They can source almost any DIN or ISO item that our customers ask us for. We normally have replies on quotation requests the next day, and many items can be brought into the U.S. in just one to two weeks. We can even source certain items the same day from some of our European suppliers. The Texas office of MMCC is still managed by John and Chris Longyear, who opened it 40 years ago. John and Chris have both been active in the Southwestern Fastener Association. John served twice on the Board of Directors Chris once, and both had a term as Chairperson of the Board. They have built up many relationships over the years in the fastener industry and are looking forward to establishing new ones in the future. The Texas branch of Metric & Multistandard thanks all of the many customers who have supported the business for the past 40 years. The Texas staff will keep working to continue to be a reliable source of metric fasteners and related items for the Southwest for many years to come. MMCC
