CONCORD CITY DEVELOPMENT LTD

in building precision products which are used in elevators throughout the world. What do Disney World in Florida, Ballys and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, San Quentin in San Francisco, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., and the White House all have in common? They all contain elevators made with products built by Hollister-Whitney! In fact, we have elevator components all over the globe! In 1899, Edward Everett Hollister founded Hollister Elevator Company in Quincy, Illinois. Whitney in 1906, and they formed Hollister-Whitney Elevator Company, which built and installed hydraulic lifts. The sons of both partners, E. Hollister, Jr. and Richard Whitney, joined the company and manufacturing was expanded to include traction elevators. During World War II, the facilities were used to manufacture large-caliber weapons (tank barrels, etc.) for the government. In those years, employment rose and more modern equipment was added. In the post-war years, these advancements allowed the plant to effectively produce the sophisticated elevator equipment of that era. When E. and Richard Whitney passed away in the late 1950s, there were only 18 employees in an antiquated plant. It was in 1960 that Herbert Glaser, Sr., President of G.A.L Manufacturing in New York, purchased the facility and instituted new designs and modern manufacturing methods. Glaser combined his many years of experience, Hollister-Whitney’s knowledge in supplying mechanical components, and G.A.L.' s ability to provide the electrical and control equipment. This enabled the two organizations to become leading suppliers of elevator equipment. In 1978, Hollister-Whitney discontinued the maintenance and construction phase of the operation and concentrated solely on the manufacture of hydraulic and traction elevator systems. In 1981, the plant moved to a spacious 100,000 square-foot plant. A 75-foot research tower was constructed for testing purposes in 1986, enabling H-W to offer many new products and equipment. An additional 30,000 square feet of space was added in 1988 to keep up with the ever growing business. In 1997, as national and international markets continued to expand, another 55,000 square feet and a 100-foot test tower were added.
