Description

Founded on honesty, hard work, conservative management, and circle of relatives commitment, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company used to be established in 1926 by L.M. Weisiger. “Mr. Les,” as he used to be known, changed into an engineer for the South Carolina State Highway Department after serving in the United States Army all through World War I. To satisfy the growing demand for new roads all through the mid-1920s, he formed Weisiger Paving Company and later, in 1930, purchased the controlling interest of Carolina Tractor. Under his leadership, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company experienced great success and growth. Weathering the Depression and expanding around the state of North Carolina, the corporate opened additional offices in Asheville, Charlotte, Hickory, and Greensboro. In 1965, Mr. Les turned the corporate over to his son, Ed I. Weisiger Sr. Mr. Les chaired the corporate board until his death in 1980; his wife, Katharine, then took over. True to its historical roots, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company remains a local, circle of relatives-owned company aligned with the interests of the purchasers it serves all over North Carolina.
