History

Established in 1947.

Robert S. Dean, Sr. started this business in Fort Myers, Florida in 1947 as a welding and machine shop. The business was located in a rented building next to Tharr’s Packing House on Anderson Avenue (now known as Martin Luther King Ave). The post-​war years brought recession and shortages of spare parts. Bob Dean Welding was able to repair and rebuild worn farm machinery and equipment of all types with an expertise that brought repeat business and success.

In 1971 Bob Jr. purchased the company’s outstanding stock and a year later reincorporated to drop the «welding» from the company name to better represent our increased emphasis in Mill Supplies and, new in 1972, as Distributor for Browning, Hub City, Morse, and other industrial power transmission lines.
