Meet Lewis Medlin

"32 years ago my father and I started E-Z Mount Bracket Company. My uncle let us use the basement of an old theatre building that he was using for storage. We were able to borrow an old piece of equipment that was at least a hundred years old, and we started producing our first bracket. From our humble beginnings we have grown to our 10,000 square foot facility, that’s located in Montvale. And, with the help of our 12 employees, we now produce over 23 brackets that are used both here and abroad. Currently, we have been awarded 15 United States Patents for our brackets that are being used primarily by the electrical industry.”
