The R. W. Mercer Company was established in 1960. Robert W. Mercer, our founder, recognized that gas station proprietors had a need for skilled help in maintaining their pumps, vehicle hoists, lube equipment, air compressors, etc., and set about to provide such a service for Michigan's Jackson and Hillsdale County areas. In a very short time the area came to rely on Bob's competence and concern, and he brought his son Kirk into the business to assist him. Together they expanded the company to include wholesale and retail sales, excavation, and installation and service of petroleum equipment, and it became obvious that additional employees were necessary to properly care for the increasing customer base. The growth continued, and in 1976 the company was incorporated. Three years later, a fully staffed branch office was opened in Galesburg, Michigan, providing better, faster, and less expensive service to Southwestern Lower Michigan. Both the Jackson and Galesburg offices continued steady growth and moved to newer and larger facilities in 1986 and 1989 respectively, with the Galesburg branch relocating to Kalamazoo. Continued growth was responsible for the opening of still another fully staffed branch in the Grand Rapids area in 1990, further increasing our area of service to include the entire State of Michigan. In 1997 our Saginaw branch experienced rapid growth into a full serivce branch making it necessary to relocate to a larger facility. The next step was to Detroit, where a new ground-up facility was constructed in 1998. The Kalamazoo office moved to a newly remodeled facility in Portage and the Jackson main office was remodeled, both in 1998. In 2000 we expanded beyond the borders of Michigan. With the award of Gilbarco's sales territories of Fort Wayne/Northern Indiana, and Toledo/Northern Ohio our sales focus has expanded to the tri state area. Our continued growth has been steady and motivated by a desire to provide full service to every customer in each area. 2000 also saw the growth of R. W. Mercer's General Construction operations from a department to a division housed in it's own new facility on the R. W. Mercer Corporate Campus. 2001 began with the aquisition of the Hale Company in Gaylord, Michigan. This has given us a base of operations to better extend out services to the Northern Michigan Market. The R. W. Mercer Company is comprised of highly skilled and dedicated professionals in their fields. General contracting personnel are skilled and experienced in numerous areas. Petroleum Construction employees, both supervisory and labor, are factory-trained in many areas and have years of experience building fuel dispensing systems. Service Technicians are factory-trained by such reputable manufacturers as Gilbarco, Verifone, Dresser-Wayne, Veeder-Root, AutoGas, PetroVend, and Red Jacket, and have years of experience troubleshooting and repairing fueling systems and electronic equipment of all types.

Mercer Company exists and grows because we consistently: meet the needs of our customers in providing competent guidance through the myriad of changing rules and regulations offer merchandise and service of only the highest quality provide our customers with a professionally built, on time, environmentally safe, aesthetically appealing completed project.
