ENGINES1
History
Engines1 began its now 42-year venture as a sales/service support division of a local shipyard.
The shipyard had a small yacht repair facility in Norfolk, VA that was in need of engines and
parts to be competitive with engine repair.
Over the years as the business grew and the products were taken to market at a distribution level
it became clear that the 4 man department was more than just a support for the yard.
As time went on the “Norshipco Engine Division” became a self sufficient and self supporting
part of the company. In 1988 the distributorship was given a name of its own, Norshipco Marine
Sales or NMS. In 1998 the shipyard underwent an ownership change and the engine department
was sold to Western Branch Diesel, Inc. Engines1 opened for business in March of 1999.
Keeping the people through the change Engines1 “hit the ground running” and we have not
looked back.
Our products are engine room related. Gasoline inboard engines. Gasoline and diesel generator
sets for both marine and industrial. Marine transmissions. Engine and transmission controls.
High end top of the line AGM batteries, Inverters, Battery Chargers, Power supplies, Fire
suppression equipment, and a host of support products and parts for each product line.
Our staff has a combined experience of over 125 years, and most have a mechanical (motor
head) background.
As always, Engines1 is big enough to serve you, yet small enough to know you. Even though we
are not perfect we still believe that we are set apart by our level of customer service.
