Our History

• Since 1940, when Johnson Tractor Company opened its doors, the company

has been dedicated to the best quality products and service to its customers.

• Ruel Johnson purchased Freeland Tractor & Equipment Company in 1940.

The country was emerging from the Depression and business was slow. As the

nation recovered, so did the equipment industry. Agricultural businesses

purchased new farming machinery, and contractors purchased equipment to

build houses, roads and freeways.

• Over the sixty-plus years of business, customer equipment needs have

changed from primarily agricultural to heavy construction and industrial use. In

1986, the company changed its name to Johnson Machinery Company to

reflect this evolution.

• Johnson Machinery Company now serves the heavy equipment, power

generation, and material handling needs of the Inland Empire and Southern

California. The company has grown from the original 12 employees to over

550, and remains dedicated to offering the best quality products and service to

its customers on the market today.

Our Philosophy

• Throughout the sixty-plus year history of Johnson Machinery

Company, there has been a single over-riding theme: “Treat people

fairly, whether customer or associate. Provide good products and

service at responsible prices.”

• Johnson Machinery Company management recognized that the

success of the past is directly related to these policies. Thousands of

past customers return to Johnson Machinery Company and it’s

divisions regularly to do business again because they like the

treatment they received the last time around.

• It’s a winning formula established long ago by a man who had faith in

himself, in the future of the Inland Empire and Southern California, and

in his son, Bill Johnson (now president of the Company). With faith so

strong and soundly based, the next sixty-plus years at Johnson

Machinery should be as growth-centered as the first. We’re looking

forward to them, and hope you will consider being a part of our future

as well.

The Future of Technicians

In the past, forklifts, like automobiles, were wrench based in nature. The environmentswere dirty, the customer base less sophisticated. The machines were far less complex innature. Mot so today.

\ technician of the future will still have to have a skill set to repair most makes and

models, but increasingly the technology incorporated into forklifts means diagnostics arenow computer based, and proprietary in nature. Every new forklift being manufacturedtoday, from every manufacturer, employs the use of onboard computers with a port for alaptop to diagnose and troubleshoot the repairs more efficiently.

The customers and industries are increasingly more complex and demanding. From aero-space companies, to food service, to pharmaceutical companies, the technician of thefuture will be able to interact with a more sophisticated customer base, diagnose repairsmore efficiently, and fix the problems faster than ever before.
