About Us
Macton Corporation has been engineering, fabricating and installing high quality moving structures for six decades, from 140-foot diameter turntables and 75 ton lifts, to 95-ton people movers and 55-ton transporters. Just as significantly, some of our original turntable installations have been in continuous, trouble–free operation since the early 1950’s.
Macton’s early work included a revolving stage at the Jones Beach Marina, a favorite venue of the Guy Lombardo Orchestra. A variety of projects followed, including an installation for the 1964 world’s fair, subsequently relocated to Disney World. Since those early years, we have worked on thousands of installations in dozens of countries throughout the world.
Macton’s offices and manufacturing facilities have remained in Connecticut
during its entire history. Macton was originally located in Stamford, Connecticut, and
moved in 1969 to Danbury, Connecticut. In 1999, Macton moved into a larger facility in
Oxford, Connecticut, which we still occupy. The commitment to these larger quarters was
followed by the purchase of the transportation equipment product lines of two well-known
companies, Joyce-Dayton Corporation (acquired in February of 1999) and A.T. Moeller Corporation
(acquired in March of 2000). These acquisitions provided Macton with a complete line
of lifting and accessory equipment for the maintenance and servicing of transit cars
and locomotives, as well as a full line of railway sanding equipment.
Macton Corporation is currently owned by the members of its senior management team, which allows Macton to focus on continuing to serve the long-term needs of its customers (rather than the short-term financial goals of a corporate parent or distant owner). We remain committed to providing our customers with the same level of innovative engineering, high-quality manufacturing and strong ongoing support that has set us apart from other companies throughout our company’s long history.
