The History of  Tribute, Inc. and B.W. Rogers

Tribute, Inc. and B.W. Rogers have a long history as Tribute Software was once a subsidiary of B.W. Rogers Company. Tribute’s original software package, the Tribute Software System, was developed by B.W. Rogers in the early ‘80’s to address many critical business issues unique to the fluid power, fluid handling and rubber products distribution business.

The system solved so many Critical Business Issues that B.W. Rogers Co. created a separate subsidiary and began selling the software nationwide. Thus, the Tribute Software System was born. The software division got too big for the hydraulic distributor, so B.W. Rogers sold the subsidiary in 1984 to current owner, Tim Reynolds, who named the company Tribute, Inc.

Through the years, B.W. Rogers expanded, operating in more than 17 locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky, doing business under the B.W. Rogers Co. name as well as those of its sister units: the Hydra Air division with a Parker Store, Kentucky Pneumatics Inc., Exonic Systems, Pennsylvania Hose & Fittings, Fluid Power Products, Scott Fluid Power, and Machine Drive Company.
