About

Mack Boring traces its roots to the early 1920s, when founder Ed McGovern Sr., a WWI Navy veteran nicknamed "Mack", began servicing and repairing engines in the basement of his Newark, New Jersey home. Boring was one of his machine shop's specialties. In 1922 he opened a 500 sq. ft. machine shop in Newark, and the company celebrated its 100th year in 2022.

Milestones include Continental Motors and Gray Marine distributorships (1949), Perkins Diesel (1964), bringing Yanmar to the U.S. market (1974), a New England division in Braintree, Massachusetts (1980), a Southeastern branch in Wilmington, North Carolina (1997) and the Marine Transmission Center for OEM gear distribution (1999).
