About us

McCue first bounced into stores as a niche marketer of bumper systems in 1988.

Since then we’ve been constantly pushing ourselves to help retailers succeed in a highly competitive market— by inventing new and creative ways to make stores more profitable, attractive and easy to maintain.

Today we deliver a total store protection solution that combines the widest range of quality damage prevention products with an array of planning, installation and maintenance services.

McCue has headquarters in the US and the UK, with sales offices serving Europe, Asia, South America, the United States and Canada. As the global industry leader, you’ll find us in stores from Singapore to Salem, and Dublin to Abu Dhabi.

Our focus: To be known as a visionary company that treats every customer—large or small—with our core values of integrity, respect and clarity.

Or, in the words of David McCue: “To create value for our customers and employees in ways they never dreamed possible.”

“Yes, Virginia, there is a real McCue.”

Our chairman and founder, David McCue, was born and raised in London, England, and attended Newlands School in Sussex and Winchester College in Hampshire.

In 1973, he was awarded a Morehead Scholarship to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1976.

In 1977, David moved to Boston and spent 11 years working in sales, product design and marketing for a manufacturer of equipment for the retail industry.

He founded McCue Corporation in 1988 with the goal of bringing innovative equipment and services to the retail industry.

Today, David holds several U.S. and international patents for products he has created, and McCue Corporation is the retail industry's recognized leader in protective and decorative bumper and shopping cart management systems – twice having been listed in the INC 500 ranking of fast-growing privately held companies.

David enjoys sailboat racing, opera and chorale singing.

There’s a certain buzz in the air at McCue that’s absolutely unique in this business. Maybe it’s our breezy location – right on the harbor in historic Salem, Mass. Maybe it’s the atmosphere of cheerful invention that comes when like-minded people enjoy working with each other. Or maybe it’s the example set by our fearless leader, David McCue – who believes that people do their best when they feel trusted, valued and encouraged to come up with new ideas, even at the risk of failure.
