Our Story
In 1928, Mr. B.W. Rogers Sr. founded what was known then as the B.W. Rogers Company (presently known as Motion Industries). The company began as a sales agent for manufacturers such as Allis Chalmers and B.F. Goodrich, then transitioned into a power transmission/process equipment and belting distributor. In 1947, The Parker Alliance Company asked the B.W. Rogers Company to become a hydraulic tube fittings distributor, marking the company’s first significant step into the fluid handling business and distribution.
During the early 1980s, B.W. Rogers Company, Ohio’s largest-selling organizations for fluid power products, streamlined its operations by developing a custom software system to distribute hose, fluid power, and rubber products. After three years of development, their new software system was finished, and Tribute was born.
In February 1994, Tim Reynolds acquired Tribute Inc. In 2004, we introduced our state-of-the-art product TrulinX, which uses SQL Server Database, Windows Server Operating System, and Object-Oriented Programming Architecture. Tribute, Inc. is now part of Volaris Group. In keeping with Volaris’ philosophy to acquire, strengthen and grow, Tribute maintains its brand and independence with support, coaching and best practices from Volaris. We have the resources of a global company and the personalized service of an industry-focused medium-sized company.
