After 17 years of combined experience as a machinist and industrial product/tool salesman, Alf Barbour decided to strike out independently. Alf started A.C.T. Equipment Sales Ltd. with the help of his wife Jean on January 2, 1961, working in the basement of their home. For many years Alf and Jean found they often had to work more than 12 hours a day, seven days a week, to grow the business, all while raising five children, of whom all but one still work for the company today.
