One Year of Dan’s Machine Tool

We often say that Dan’s Machine Tool was meant to be a part of Wheeler Machinery Sales because it already came with ‘Dan’ in the name. Could you ask for a better fit? And one year in, we can confidently say no, you could not ask for a better fit – or a brighter future for both companies.

It’s been one year since the acquisition brought Dan’s Machine Tool to Pomona, and we’ve become an integral part of the Wheeler warehouse and team. Dan Wheeler jokes that “It’s certainly a lot nosier around here”. But it’s not about a change of ownership, new business opportunities, or making noise. It’s about what we consider ‘carrying on a legacy’ and drawing on the combined nearly 100 years of experience in the machinery business between the two, with Wheeler Machinery Sales beginning in 1969 and Dan’s Machine Tool in 1985.

Our service manager, Rick McGuire, is the go-to-guy for scheduling your appointments and services. In discussing this year’s success in Pomona, he says there has been a growth of almost one hundred new customers, and we don’t plan to slow down. He is particularly proud of a series of machine overhauls we did, complete with a paint job and grinding and scraping of bed ways to bring them to like new condition and is looking forward to others scheduled for this year. He notes that to best help us help you, try to schedule general preventative maintenance for your machines before big problems arise. But if your machines do need repair, our top technician, Jimmy, is ready to come and diagnose the problem.

Thank you to everyone who has made this year one to remember.
