About Us Melrose Technologies (originally Melrose Distributing Company) was established in April, 1931 by Max & Joseph Berlin. Located in the Philadelphia area, dedicated to the Automotive Service Equipment Industry. A regional company servicing Garages, Repair Shops, and Car Dealers.

Melrose takes pride in �thoughtful� planning. We try to think of everything so that you won�t have to think of anything. We promise you will never be surprised. No Hidden Additions. No Unexpected Charges. Everything is right �Up Front�. Nothing left out. We do it the �RIGHT WAY�, the first time! When we design a parts department, we automatically give you closed ends, so that parts do not fall off. When we design an Air System, the drops are always, up, over, and down. When we design a lube system, we leave room for further expansion. When we design an CO exhaust system, the drops are level and positioned with convenience in mind. When we design an entire shop with 78 years of experience. Company History & Tid Bits
