Foundation

Founder E.G. Melroe started Melro Manufacturing Company in Gwinner, North Dakota, in 1947. His previous experience with weeders and pickup trucks expanded to include heavy equipment. After he died in 1955, his sons continued in his footsteps and soon met inventors Louis and Cyril Keller.

The Kellers had previously created a front-end loader with two drive wheels and a rear caster wheel to help a customer clean their multi-story barn, and it did very well at the Minnesota State Fair. Once teamed up with the Melroes, the company released the first Bobcat front loader in 1962. After decades of the line’s success, the company rebranded from Melroe to Bobcat in 2000.
