Maybury Material Handling of East Longmeadow is key link in supply chain Updated Feb 15, 2021; Facebook Share EAST LONGMEADOW — John F. Maybury grew up working on minibikes and motorcycles, mechanical skills that came in handy when he started Maybury Material Handling in 1976. But finding employees with mechanical or electrical experience for his business is proving more difficult, a challenge amplified during the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re always hiring. We’re continuously advertising. Our demand is growing,” Maybury said in a recent interview. He even has a sign in front of the business in East Longmeadow, advertising for employees. Currently, he has 93, but he can use more. They are recruiting for office staff, fabricators and installers, along with service technicians who can work independently in the field.
