From Humble Beginnings to the West Coast United States largest CNC Solutions Provider. Read the below story to find out how.
In 1963 Roy Selway founded Selway Machine Tool Company in Oakland, California. The former Army Mechanic & WWII Veteran worked his way up through the Machine Tool industry, from Technician, to Technical Sales Manager, & finally to owner of what is now the largest machine tool distributer on the West Coast United States. Legend has it that Roy put his sons up as collateral for the bank loan to start Selway Machine Tool Company
In 1968, at the age of 22 Bill Selway took the helm of Selway Machine Tool Company after the untimely death of its founder, his father Roy. Throughout the early 1970's, Bill, along with his brother Pat, would drive door to door in Northern California towing a state of the art iron worker and high speed to perform live demonstrations for potential customers. After many doors were shut on these youthful salesmen, Bill grew out his trademark mustache that was with him until the end. Over the years, Jim, Chuck, Danny, Dell and Joe (or Bill’s 5 younger brothers) younger brothers joined as the business grew, setting the foundation for the family environment that still exists today at Selway Machine Tool Company
American made machine tool products in the late 70’s were no longer competitive with the industry demand. To better support the manufacturing community, Bill, secured distributorships with renowned builders Matsuura, Mori Seiki, and Nakamura Tome becoming one of the first dealerships on the West Coast to represent Japanese products.
The company expanded to Washington, Oregon and Nevada in the mid 1980’s as Bill continued his quest for the newest technology to support Selway Machine Tool Company’s growing customer base and emerging industry needs. These demands were instrumental in Bill signing an agreement with Gene Haas to become an exclusive dealer for Haas Automation.
