Malone Specialty Inc. was founded in 1982. Its mission was to supply fluid connecting devices in metric threads. The first customer of the company was Mack Trucks Inc., who had just started selling the Mid-Liner series and wanted a domestic source for the metric fluid connectors as spare parts. This relationship quickly grew as Malone Specialty started to design and produce replacement lines and other components.

Over the years the company has developed two divisions – Industrial Products and Transportation Products. The Industrial Products division sells metric and special tube fittings, hose couplings, and adapters, to industrial distributors and dealers across the country. The Transportation Divisions designs and produces a variety of spare parts and accessory installation kits for the major manufacturers of mid-range trucks in the US.

In 1997 the company made a commitment to become ISO 9001 certified. This certification was completed in the August of 1999. Over the years the company has increased its engineering capabilities and broadened its product offerings to satisfy its truck and OEM customers. The company is a family owned and operated corporation located in modern facilities in Mentor Ohio. It has grown considerably in the last decade and looks forward to continued growth based on its quality policy "Innovative Excellence in Customer Satisfaction".
