Celebrating 50 Years of Electro-Mech Scoreboards
Today, February 11, 2013, marks the 50th anniversary of Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company. At least, it’s as close to the day as we can guess. In the “official archives” of the company — that is, in a cabinet in the president’s office — we have a copy of the minutes from the first stockholders’ meeting dated February 11, 1963. We’re not quite sure whether the manufacturing facility was already completed and scoreboards were being assembled at that point, or if production cranked up later. Somewhere lost in history is the record of where the first Electro-Mech scoreboard was shipped….
Electro-Mech began keeping electronic records of scoreboard sales in 1993. The first few years of those records are probably incomplete, but they tell us that we have shipped well over 35,000 scoreboards in the past twenty years. We believe that most of those scoreboards are in service today.
