Mark C. Pope Associates , Inc - Ground Power Division

Mark C. Pope Associates, Incorporated was founded in 1950 as the original C&D Battery sales and service distributor for nine southern states. By 1962 the territory was reduced to two and one-half states (Georgia, Alabama and east Tennessee), and MCP sold and serviced only C&D batteries, Hobart chargers and Hobart ground power units. The electric fork lift truck market was our only customer base for batteries and chargers and only small airports purchased ground power equipment. By 1964 the battery territory was split once again and Mark C. Pope Associates was the exclusive C&D distributor for the state of Georgia and the Hobart Ground Power line was expanded to the original nine southeastern states. In the early 1980's MCP began selling and servicing industrial floor cleaning equipment to our Industrial Motive customer base. The business grew rapidly and as of 1985 we added dedicated sales and service people. Shortly after that we created a separate operating division for Industrial Sweepers and Scrubbers. In 1999 we expanded the floor cleaning business to Florida and we currently have a full service branch in Apopka, FL as well as local sales and service in Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando.
