In the mid-1990s, Marvin Goldman and Kevin Orlofski, both power transmission specialists with over 40 years of combined experience, recognized the need of New York-area manufacturing firms for a single-source distributor of industrial equipment. Such a distributor would have to feature an extensive inventory of motors, bearings, reducers, conveyor components, variable speed drives, and more. In addition, such a distributor would need to offer its customers reasonable prices, quick delivery, and access to a knowledgable sales staff. In order to fill this need, Marvin and Kevin founded Total Machine Solutions in 1996. By 2000, TMS had outgrown its Queens facility, due to its ever-growing inventory and customer base. Consequently, TMS relocated its main office to its present location in Plainview, Long Island, NY. Several years later, in 2003, the company relocated its Newark facility to an adjacent larger building to accomodate additional inventory. In 2004, the facility was moved once again, this time to nearby Parsippany.
