Transition of Ownership: 3rd from left: Bill McGinty,

The company’s founder, John “Bill” McGinty, was a millwright with several construction companies in the early forties who saw a need for better industrial equipment in the manufacturing markets. He contacted Richards-Wilcox Manufacturing Co. to supply him with the necessary products to better the industry. This association built into a mutually beneficial relationship where each company began to rely on the other. During this time, Richards-Wilcox manufactured the components and McGinty sold the product. McGinty was very influential in the development and improvement of many of the products that Richards-Wilcox currently offers.

Around 1960 Bill started to show his son, John McGinty, how the industry worked. John began as a delivery truck driver and became involved with every job in the shop and the field until he learned the business inside and out. By 1965, he was the most successful salesman in the company. Bill McGinty began to realize that the company was going to succeed through the transition of ownership. In 1970, Bill McGinty retired and John McGinty became president of Wm. McGinty, Inc. In 1972, John McGinty changed the companies name to what it is known as today, McGinty Conveyors, Inc.
