General Info

It all began with great-grandad, Gotlieb, working in the butchering business back in the 1800's. As with most families in those days, his son, Albert, took over as butcher and then went into the rendering business in 1898. Albert's son, Malcolm, took over the business in 1934. Being a perfectionist and dissatisfied with the quality and availability of milling machinery, Malcolm designed and build his first hammer mill. Because of its superior performance, the new hammer mill, now named the "Mighty Samson, " was being sold to other companies with similar needs. Sales of the Mighty Samson was so successful that Malcolm discontinued the rendering business and sold the "Mighty Samson" exclusively. Malcolm's son, Robert, now runs a successful business, selling the "Mighty Samson" which continues to enjoy a solid reputation build over generations.
