Main navigation EQUIPMENT PARTS & SERVICE ABOUT NEWS Global CONTACT Our History Since 1946 Closner Equipment Co. Inc. is an authorized Texas dealer of construction equipment used in stabilization, reclamation, asphalt paving, compaction and concrete work. Operating continuously since 1946, with 3 generations of family leadership. The Early Years 1946 The company was founded in 1946 by brothers J.J. (Jack) Closner and George W. Closner. It was originally named Engineered Sales and represented Barber-Greene Co. and Noble Concrete Plants. Revenues were low in the early years due to the factory backlogs after World War II. The Barber-Greene line provided most of the business with sales of bucket loaders, vertical boom ditchers, conveyor systems and continuous mix asphalt plants. 1952 In 1952, the name was changed to Closner Equipment Co. and we entered the aggregate field by representing crusher and screen manufacturers. This was followed by Childers Manufacturing, an early producer of hot oil heaters. We pioneered the use of these hot oil heaters in Texas as a replacement for the steam boilers used to heat liquid asphalt. The 60’s & 70’s 1960's In 1960, Smith Engineering Works (now the Telsmith Div. of Astec Industries) merged with Barber-Greene and we began selling their wide range of aggregate processing equipment throughout Texas, especially cone crushers. 1970's In the late 1960′s and the early 1970′s, Closner Equipment installed the first automatic screed control systems used on asphalt pavers in Texas. We also led Texas contractors in making the switch to drum mix plants in the 1970′s. The 80’s & 90’s 1980's GOMACO Corporation selected us as their dealer in the late 1980′s. Gomaco’s full line of concrete slipform pavers, placers, curing equipment, curb machines, and bridge-deck finishers was perfect fit with our other road paving products. We have won over 20 National awards for our sales and support. Barber-Greene was acquired by Caterpillar Paving Products Inc. 1990's Dynapac (Div. of Atlas Copco) was added in the early 1990′s. Dynapac is the world’s leading producer of vibratory compaction equipment and another excellent fit with our paving products. Lincoln Windrow Elevators came next. We pioneered the use of elevators equipped with “asphalt re-mix” capability. These devices are now widely used by TxDot contractors. Present Day Closner Today ROADTEC an Astec Industries Company, teamed up with Closner in 2009 to sell and support their line in 118 counties in Texas. We offer custom repair & rebuild programs for your Shuttle Buggy, Milling Machine, Paver, Stabilizer and Reclaimer.

Products from Minnich Manufacturing were added to compliment our Gomaco Slipform machines. Minnich produces Concrete Vibrators, Vibrator Monitoring Systems and Dowel Pin Drills.
