The History of Stull
Stull Enterprises, Inc., originally the Gash-Stull Company, was founded in 1918 in Chester, Pennsylvania, to distribute farm machinery manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. The relationship with Ford lasted an impressive 45 years which included Stull operating several car dealerships in addition to a very successful distribution business.
Due to Ford's decision in 1963 to discontinue sales through independent distributors, the first Stull Equipment Company division was formed to distribute outdoor power equipment. From 1963 until 1981, Stull participated in a multitude of industries while building a strong foundation in power equipment from its three locations in Chester, Pennsylvania, Beltsville, Maryland and Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Snowmobiles, household appliances, industrial machinery, heating and air conditioning, television and auto parts all contributed to Stull's considerable success during the 70's.
In 1981, further supplier changes brought about the merger of Stull Equipment Company into the Beltsville, Maryland operation. For ten years, Stull Enterprises concentrated solely on power equipment. Then on June 10, 1991, through an acquisition, Stull Equipment Company was born again as the Turf and Industrial Division of Stull Enterprises.
Operating from its Pottstown, Pennsylvania facility, Stull Equipment successfully expanded their overall market reach, while penetrating a growing customer base in the golf industry. Stull's expertise in the distribution of equipment was instrumental in developing Stull Equipment Company into a first class operation.
Today, Stull Enterprises, Inc. remains firmly positioned in the Mid-Atlantic Region as a supplier of high quality consumer and commercial equipment. Having consolidated its business solely into an expanded Pottstown location, the organization has developed into a lean group which has brought them to a highly productive state.
For over 90 years, Stull Enterprises has balanced the need to diversify and develop new opportunities with its core business. This quality has provided an incredible staying power which now spans three generations of management and one can expect similar performance in the future.
