The Company
History
We are a family owned and operated business and have been doing business since 1972. Rich's Machinery's founders were C.E. Richardson and his son Terre Richardson. They both ran and operated the business until C.E.'s death in 1982. Rich's Machinery originally started out as a seller of machine tools. We would refurbish machine tools and then either sell the machinery or lease it out to our customers. In 1982 after C.E. passed away and the oil down turn hit Texas Rich's Machinery was forced to put the machines they had previously been selling and leasing to work, and that is how the machine shop started. At this point Terre Richardson became the sole owner in the business, and with the help of a couple key people made Rich's Machinery into what it is today. In 2002 Terre's two sons Seane and Steven entered into the business learning what was necessary to one day run and operate the business. In 2012 Terre Richardson sold the business to Seane & Steven which are now the 3rd generation owners.
