About History
    

History

Much has changed since Meyer Gronik first took the auction podium prior to the Great Depression to sell agricultural and manufacturing machinery. However, what has remained consistent throughout three generations and more than three-quarters of a century is the company's commitment to finding innovative solutions that contribute to customer success. This legacy continues today, as AccuVal has become a global industry leader with offices throughout North America and Asia and strategic alliances worldwide.
