Barber Greene
Defunct American construction eqipment company / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barber-Greene Company was a company founded in 1916 by American mechanical engineers Harry H. Barber and William B. Greene. It was formed to sell standardized material-handling machines to mechanize small manual tasks in an economical way. Though the company began by offering conveyors and bucket loaders, it is best known for its contributions to the asphalt field. In 1959, the company went public[1] and was sold to Astec in 1986.[2][3]
