The Auth-Florence Manufacturing Company, a Florence Company, is the nation's preeminent manufacturer of superior-quality mailboxes and accessories for centralized distribution and collection of mail and packages.

Auth-Florence was founded in 1934 as the Florence Manufacturing Company. In 1991, the company acquired Auth Electric, adding a comprehensive line of intercoms, nurse call equipment and chimes to its product offering.

For more than 64 years, the Florence line of postal specialties has maintained industry leadership by offering consistently superior product quality and rapid, reliable customer service. Auth-Florence provides technical support and customer service through both its centralized customer service operation and its network of manufacturer's representatives.

Auth-Florence is a dynamic, growing company. In February of 1998, the company consolidated all headquarters and manufacturing operations in a new 85,000-square-foot building 35 miles west of the City of Chicago. The facility combines ample room for future growth with state-of-the-art equipment to bring improved productivity and enhanced quality to every aspect of the company's fabrication, assembly, warehousing and shipping operations.

In July of 1998, Auth-Florence significantly expanded its product offering with the acquisition of the American Device Postal Specialties line. A perfect complement to Auth-Florence postal specialties, American Device products have been known for their strength, security and long-lasting durability since 1921.
