Early in the 1920’s, two Manitoba engineers, Mr. Morton and Mr. MacKay, founded the company that would become Macmor Industries. The company, named Morton and MacKay Limited, started out producing technical drawings and plans for a range of electrical and structural projects.

The first major milestone in Macmor’s history came in the early 1950’s when Mr. Morton passed the business on to his son, Jack. MacKay had already sold out his share to Morton, and Jack became the president of the company he would direct for the next 25 years.

Throughout these years, a new focus emerged, and the services the business offered began to undergo a transformation. The company now was not just providing technical drawings, but also began sourcing some of the tools and equipment those plans required. Eventually this part of the business grew to the point that Jack created a new division to handle it, calling it Macmor Industries, an amalgamation of "MacKay" and "Morton."

In 1980 John Roy, then an employee, purchased the company from Jack Morton. Under his leadership the company has continued to grow, and in the last ten years offices have been established in Alberta and in Saskatchewan. Business, under the Macmor banner, has more that tripled from three million to over ten million dollars annually, and is expected to keep growing.
