Started by founder Thomas C. Tsatsos in 1963, Tom had been working for another Manufacturer’s Representative, and knew this was what he wanted to do.  Representing Robbins & Myers, then Hitachi in sub fractional motors, he grew the business until he had to hire associate salespeople.

In 1971 Baldor Electric was in an aggressive mode towards hiring Reps, and this became a great opportunity for both parties.  With a lot of hard work Baldor grew nicely over the years, and the philosophy of strong inside sales was recognized and developed at this time. 

When current President Mark S. Tsatsos joined the firm in 1977, the firm had 7 people and Mark worked through the ranks up to territory manager.  Along with two other sales people, and a General Manager, House of Motors expanded into other product lines that would compliment the efforts.  We representing Grant Gear from late 70’s, until Grove approached the company in 84’, and this was the springboard to a multiple line agency that expanded to several lines, and the whole 5 state area.

In 1986 we started a value added service division to the company E E Controls; realizing customers needed something more than components offered in catalogs, such as custom duplex pump controllers with logic.  This gave us much experience in selling and applying all types of controls.  EE Controls was sold to Industrial Sensors and Controls in November 2001.

In 1991, Baldor wanted an exclusive effort, and through negotiations, Tom sold the Baldor franchise to Leslie J Anderson, and Mark split off with the other Rep lines and the Control division; including three other people.  Mark purchased the company in 1995.  With many changes in the industry and selling of the control division, we have gone from 9 to 4 people since 1997.  We are extremely proud of our reputation and Ethics statement.

Our vision sums it up.  “Our vision is to give the most professional Service and Support to both our customer and principles, while keeping both profitable”.
