History of Bobcat®
The Melroe Manufacturing Company was founded in Gwinner, North Dakota in 1947 by EG Melroe, who invented the Melroe pickup and the harroweeder. After his death in 1955, his sons took over the company, growing the farm implement business until 1958 when they met inventors Cyril and Louis Keller.
The Kellers repaired farm equipment until one day, a customer complained about how hard it was to clean the second story of his turkey barn. The Kellers built a simple front-end loader with two drive wheels and a rear caster wheel. This machine was a huge success at the Minnesota State Fair and the brothers were quickly employed by Melroe.
In 1962, the company launched the M440 ─ the first loader to bear the name Bobcat®. Others followed and were given names like Big Bob or Mini-Bob. Over time the name “Bobcat” began to stick and in 2000, Melroe Company changed its name to Bobcat Company to reflect its primary brand identity. It went from producing loaders, excavators and attachments to manufacturing telehandlers, load backhoes, utility vehicles, and light construction products. Bobcat® equipment has become a go-to choice for many whose daily work involves the use of heavy equipment.
