Blanchard Machinery
Blanchard Machinery Company’s history began in 1952 when the Joseph L. Rozier Machinery Co., a LeTourneau Dealer, moved its operation from the Midwest to central Florida to represent the Caterpillar product line in Orlando. The decision to make the move to Florida was built on the speculation of future growth in the area, speculation that was, of course, fully realized. Mr. Rozier remained active in the company until his passing in the 1970’s, when Mr. Rozier’s son-in-law, G. Robert Blanchard, took, the helm. In 1982, seeing a promising opportunity in South Carolina, Blanchard Machinery Company was established. Robert Blanchard remained active in the South Carolina dealership until 1996, when his son Joe Blanchard was appointed president. Since opening its’ doors, Blanchard Machinery Company has kept the same vision to become the premier Caterpillar dealership in North America by being a major supplier of equipment and engines measured by customer satisfaction, market share and financial performance.
