Our History
A Small Beginning
When Fred Berry, Jr. and his brother Paul purchased Sam H. Denney Road Machinery Co. in 1957, they wanted to create a business they could build their lives around. That one small building in Wichita, Kansas became Berry Tractor & Equipment Co.
A Growing Business
In 1962, the brothers acquired White Star Machinery & Supply Co., which had been founded in 1910. Since then, Berry Companies has grown to nine divisions with over 60 branch locations operating in nine states throughout the Midwest and Southeast.
Since our inception, we have held tightly to the values of integrity and honesty that have made our company successful.
