Messick Farm Equipment, Inc.
Messick Farm Equipment’s beginnings go back to November 26, 1952,
when two brothers, Marlin and Merville Messick broke ground and erected a
new building along Route 230, three miles north of Elizabethtown.
The dealership officially opened on February 1, 1953, with Marlin as Shop
Manager, and Merville handling both the sales and parts department.
Two years later a full-time salesman and one additional mechanic were
hired, and in 1962 an addition was built to the existing building, housing a
showroom and additional parts area.
The successful Messick enterprise once again outgrew its shell, and a new
21-acre site was purchased at the present location along Route 283, at the
Rheems Exit, Elizabethtown.
With the new facilities providing 7,200 square feet of shop space, and 6,000
square feet of showroom, Messick celebrated its grand opening in February of
1977. Messicks have since expanded the building twice and have built an
additional warehouse.
Today Messick attributes much of its growth to its 49 employees, including
18 mechanics, 14 partsmen, 5 salesmen, and four office personnel.
Factory trained as well as privately instructed, Messick’s servicemen have
years of experience in the agricultural field. The firm’s parts department has
experience in providing customers with the correctt parts as quickly as possible.
To Messick’s staff, the idea of simply making a sale, is secondary to their goal
of providing the customer with the correct equipment to get the job done. They
are committed to keeping their customers up and running with over 1 million
dollars in parts inventory.
