The company's roots go back to the 1980s in California when company founder Tony Morley was contracted to rebuild several large manufacturing machines. Among them were several
large multi-spindle machines that Morley followed to the northwest where he formed Morley Machine Tool Alignment, Inc. in 1994. The bold northwest plan included retrofitting
the multi-spindle machines, setting up a new 5-axis machining facility, and implementing a program to comply with new aerospace certification standards. This led to Morley's
successful preventive and predictive maintenance programs utilizing ballbar and laser technology. Morley has since acquired many loyal customers throughout the United States,
Canada, and Asia. Morley has had steady growth and continues to invest in new technology and training; it has amassed the best selection of metrology laser equipment on the
West Coast; and has solidified its position as a leader in machine tool alignment, calibration, repair, rebuild and retrofit services. The company is currently expanding its
offerings to include other related metrology and precision measurement solutions and services.
It is our mission to provide precision measurement services and solutions using the most up to date technology; to bring an all-inclusive problem solving approach with unrivaled attention
to detail and customer requirements; and to be part of the solution that gets the job done right with minimal interruption.

Tony Morley - President / Chief Metrologist
Tony began his career in a four year apprenticeship building machine tools in Halifax, England, one of the largest centers for machine tool manufacturers in the
country; also completing a four-year college engineering program. His first rebuild project was a radial drill. After saying he had never rebuilt a radial drill,
his foreman replied, "...you will have when you finish this one," imparting the lasting wisdom and confidence to embrace all opportunities to learn new things. This
manifests itself today in Tony's vision for the company; a company with the best selection of metrology laser equipment on the West Coast, and the expertise and
confidence confront the most complex projects.
After spending several years in California working with larger machine tools, Tony moved to the Pacific Northwest with a selection of optical and granite measuring
equipment. Finding a need for machine calibration services, it was a natural step to move to precision laser measuring equipment. So Tony and his wife Jan created
Morley Machine Tool Alignment, Inc. in 1995.
Tony values the contributions of the intelligent people that he has added to his team, and is enjoying the opportunity to work on projects across U.S, Canada, and Asia
ranging from medical research, to state-of-the-art robotic sawmills, to sub orbital rocket parts; and to hydroelectric dams. He views the company's investment in
technology, equipment, and training as an investment in its customers' welfare. The more we contribute to the solutions the lesser the problems for the customer.
Tony has a picture in his office that reflects his life's journey. It shows him riding a toy train when he was 4 years old in England where he lived on Milton Street.
Today the new company facility is located in Milton, Washington. Figuratively it is a full circle, but he has taken his company miles ahead in technology and in its
ability to serve its customers.
Jan Morley - Chief Financial Officer
Jan adds over 30-years of business, accounting, and financial management experience to the Morley team. Since its inception, Jan has focused on Morley's
financial performance. This has led to a strong financial position that allowed Morley to purchase and renovate its new Milton facility, increase its
investment in new technology, and continue the company's growth during one of the most severe economic downturns in U.S. History.
Stephen Smith - Chief Operations Officer
Stephen brings over 30 years of experience in operations, IT services, and project management; with experience ranging from banking to aerospace and to the founding of privately owned IT services and consulting companies. Stephen is an MBA Graduate of Pacific Lutheran University, and also earned a BA from Central Washington University, a BS from Griffin College, and Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute.
Mark Prendergast - Field Operations Manager
Mark brings nearly 40 years of machinist and metrology experience to the Morley team. Born the son of a Machinist, he began working for the family business at an early age
making precision Boeing airplane parts. Mark's experience includes 12-years at Precision Machine Works manufacturing special alloy aerospace components on 6-spindle Wilsons,
and as shop foreman for 11-years. Subsequently Mark spent 6-years at The Boeing Company working at their Laser Guided Precision Drill Center and in Research and Development.
Mark has been with Morley for six years and has been instrumental in the development of Morley's metrology programs.
Charles Justice - Field Services Technician
Charles brings specialized skills in laser alignment, calibration, and manufacturing process control solutions. He recently relocated from the Atlanta, GA area with
10-years of experience in manufacturing and quality control; most recently with Renishaw, a manufacturer of metrology systems. Previously he was with GE where he was trained in Six Sigma methodologies and provided support to manufacturing centers around the world.
Joshua Cupps - Field Services Technician
Joshua adds a variety of mechanical and metrology skills to the Morley team; many gained during his fifteen years of service in the Navy as a ship fitter and high-pressure
nuclear welder. Joshua's skills include ship fitting, welding, laser alignment, machine maintenance, and machine tool rebuilding.
