Our Heritage
In 1946,
Leonard Strobel began Strobel Blacksmith in Clarks, Nebraska. Strobel
Blacksmith provided welding and blacksmithing services to the greater
Clarks area.
In 1969, Leonard and his son Dwight incorporated to form Strobel
Industries, Inc. Leonard designed and built a tree cutter and he and Dwight
began manufacturing various types of farm equipment such as stalk cutters, scrapers,
earth packers, beefsfoot, etc. Many of today's products are derivatives of
these initial corporate designs. Over the years they have been honed
and improved upon through research, design, testing and most importantly
real-life application in fields and construction sites all over the Midwest.
In 1996, Leonard Strobel, our company's patriarch, passed away. However, the
tradition of integrity, character and a strong work ethic had been deeply engendered
into our company's culture and is still found in the products and quality
craftsmanship woven into all facets of the family business today.
