Description

Great Lakes Power officially opened its doors April 1st, 1973, but it was really the culmination of an idea and a series of relationships that resulted in a new enterprise in Mentor, Ohio. Harry Allen, Jr., had worked for Cummins Engine Company, George Engine Company, and Twin Disc Inc., and put those three business experiences together to form Great Lakes Power. George Engine Company and Dave Bell were key partners in the business start-up, and George Engine Company provided a base of business from which to grow. Up until this point, Meier Transmission had represented Twin Disc in the Cleveland area. However, Twin Disc was embarking on a new pro-active distributor business plan and it was the perfect match for the new company.
