Quinn's History - Since 1919

From its simple beginnings as a farm implement dealer in 1919, Quinn Company has evolved as a leader in agricultural, construction and industrial equipment sales and service throughout California.

In the early days, Quinn Company supplied the Killifer Disc and Holt Tractor to the Fresno area farmers in their quest to develop the great San Joaquin Valley into the world?s richest agricultural region. In 1925, when Holt and Best Tractor Company merged to form Caterpillar Tractor Co. (now Caterpillar Inc.), Quinn became its dealer in the Fresno and Madera County area. Since then, we have expanded through acquisitions and grown along with the economy of California.

On August 1, 2003, Quinn Company acquired the operating assets of Shepherd Machinery and Power Systems Associates, the Caterpillar dealership in Southern California that covered Los Angeles, Orange and Inyo counties with a portion of Kern county.

Now in our third generation of family ownership, our operations span fifteen counties throughout central and southern California, including Arizona. Quinn now has 26 locations from Salinas to San Juan Capistrano with approximately 1,400 employees to serve our customers.

We are proud of the success we have built with the help of our customers, our employees and Caterpillar.
