History


In the early 1940s B.J. Pasker ran a blacksmith shop in New Vienna, Iowa. In this shop his son, Jerry, produced farm wagons made from discarded automobile spindles and rims. During this period, Pasker also developed a hydraulically powered front loader which mounted to farm tractors. In 1944 Jerry Pasker outgrew the blacksmith shop and sought a larger facility for his operations.




Energy in Monticello Iowa


Jerry Pasker moved to South Cedar Street in Monticello, Iowa and was introduced to Harold Sovereign, who sold John Deere tractors and equipment. Pasker and Sovereign formed a partnership known as Industrious Farmer Equipment Company, and moved the business to the vacant second floor of Sovereign's dealership on South Cedar Street. In 1946 the business again outgrew its facility. To accommodate the expansion, Pasker purchased the property of an auto dealership on Main Street. During that time the company manufactured hydraulic components, wagon hoists, truck hoists, valves and hydraulic cylinders. In 1948 the company's name was changed to Energy Farm Equipment Company. In 1962 the business incorporated to become Energy Manufacturing Company, Inc., by which it is still known.
Jerry Pasker was killed in a 22 July 1964 airplane crash in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; the company presidency then passed to LaVon Pasker.

In 1976 Energy completed construction of a new plant on 11 acres (45,000 m2) in the Monticello Industrial park. In 1985 Energy Manufacturing Company was sold to CGF Industries of Topeka, Kansas. CGF also purchased an Omaha Nebraska company called "Williams Machine and Tool". In 1997 Energy was purchased by Lincolnshire Partners and in 1999 Energy was purchased by Textron, Inc.
