History[edit]

In 1950, Dutch Snyder, Mr. Sheffield, and Pat McCurdy Sr. purchased Midwest Motor Supply. Until 1984, Midwest Motor Supply operated primarily as an automotive retailer. In 1984, Midwest Motor Supply acquired the Kimball Company. This acquisition changed the organization’s reach and product offering. It also led to the organization doing business as Kimball Midwest. In 1992, Kimball Midwest had acquired Performance Engineered Products and merged the product offerings.
