HISTORY Growers was founded in 1950 when South Florida was a much more rural community. It has been family owned and operated for over 30 years. Over the years we have supplied and serviced equipment to farmers growing the food we eat, contractors building the homes we live in and governments maintaining our parks, beaches and infrastructure. As South Florida has grown into a large urban area, our product offering has adapted to cater to our customers needs. Mr. Lopez acquired the company in 1976. Headquartered in Miami with a location in Homestead and another in Davie. The Homestead location was closed in 1981, centralizing the Dade and Monroe market at its Miami location. In 1986, a branch was opened in Belle Glade to pursue the agricultural (particularly sugar cane) market. In 1996, Belle Glade was closed, with Growers shifting its focus back on the metropolitan market. Growers Davie branch moved into its brand new facility on Davie Road in 1997. In 2002, this would become the headquarters as the Miami property was sold. That branch was consolidated to the Davie branch, which now serves the entire South Florida market, from Southern Palm Beach down to the Keys. Our People Horacio Lopez - CEO.
