Over 90 years ago, John J. Connell identified a growing demand for material handling equipment in St. Louis, MO. In 1929, he founded Connell Material Handling, the first distributorship of its kind in the region. Building on integrity, in 1973, John passed the company to his son-in-law, Norman P. Turek, who continued its legacy. After 13 years, Norman handed the business to his son, Jack Turek. In 2009, the 4th generation, John Turek, joined, and by 2018, he became President. In 2021, after 35 years of ownership, Jack sold the company to John. Upholding family values, Connell Material Handling serves not only St. Louis but also Springfield, MO, North Kansas City, MO, and Memphis, TN.
