Benny Joseph learned the value of hard work early on in life, spending his formative years on the family farm in Liverpool, Ohio. At the age of 16, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. The integrity and values he acquired from these humble origins carried over to the creation of Mortech in 1985. As a complete newcomer to the market, Mortech quickly distinguished itself from its competitors.

Mortech started in Arcadia, CA in a 1000 sq. ft. building providing service to funeral homes. We required a space upgrade and moved to a 4500 sq. ft. facility in 1988 as the business began to expand.

In 1996, Mortech moved to an 11,000 sq. ft. facility and expanded our offerings to provide equipment for medical examiners, coroners, and university research facilities. At this point, we also added in-house fabrication capacity. In 2005 Mortech became an ISO9000 certified company.

To this day, we maintain this certification and hold ourselves to the stringent requirements of the program. In 2006, Mortech moved to Azusa and acquired a 22,000 sq. ft. building, expanding our services to provide for hospitals and the manufacture of necropsy equipment. Mortech expanded an additional 22,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to consolidate the manufacturing of all our stainless steel equipment.

We purchased an additional 31,000 sq. ft. building in 2017 devoted to the manufacture of our mortuary refrigerators and walk-ins.

Today, Mortech continues to grow. The tradition of our founders integrity and values has been instilled into his five children who all share equal ownership. Our ability to innovate and customize products based on customer needs continues to make us unique to the industry as we strive to maintain our hard-earned reputation as the market leader in our sector.
