Voigt-Abernathy Company was founded as D.B. Gooch & Associates in 1946, and operated throughout the 1940's and 50's as a manufacturer's representative of quality process equipment & service. In 1963, ownership transitioned to William C. Voigt Jr. and H.C. England, Jr., who led the company into unprecedented growth with their focused sales efforts on our product lines, and by eventually adding distribution/warehousing capability. Throughout the 1970's and 80's, Voigt-Abernathy prospered due to organic sales growth of our products, plus diversification, with the addition of engineered systems and shop repair capabilities.

In 1993, the ownership of the Company entered its second generation. Since that time, we have invested heavily into personnel and technology that will help us maintain our position as a market leader for the industries that we serve. In response to the fast-growing service and systems sector of our business, the company established new offices in Trussville, AL in January of 2003. With approximately 15,000 square feet of combined shop and office space, our new facility establishes the infrastructure required to repair large pumps, to perform hydraulic pump testing, and to design/manufacture large engineered systems.

"We enthusiastically announce that in the Fall of 2004, long time employee Jonathan Abernathy became a full partner in the company. Jonathan's strengths in Operations, Inside Sales and Customer Relations now combine with Bill Voigt's strength in Field Sales, Applications and Engineering to form an unbeatable ownership team. This partnership has already created a stronger company through an increased energy level in the business, plus through the vigorouse approval of our principals and customers."
