Our History

With a rich history dating back several decades, LV Control has deployed systems in over 1000 facilities worldwide.

LV Control was founded in 1975 by Bob Dunlop and two years later acquired the pump control division of Engineered Pump Manufacturers (EPM) and gained access to their line of pump controls. This was a major development for the company because it provided LV Control with an expanded product line and access to an established dealer network.

Brent Murray, a 20 year old engineering student, and Grant Floren, a 22 year college graduate joined the company in 1980. Soon after, Bob decided to sell the business creating the opportunity for Brent, Grant, and three co-workers to purchase the company in 1981. Initially, LV continued to offer the same products and services that were available under previous ownership, but as market competition increased, LV focused on opportunities in the agriculture market. This charted a path to become the industry experts in material handling and process control.

Continued growth

In 2019 Exchange Income Corporation (EIC) purchased the company allowing Brent and Grant to transition to retirement. As Brent and Grant retired in December 2021, long time staff were promoted to executive positions and continue LV Control's legacy of industry leadership and commitment.
