The Beginning of Roy Manufacturing
Our roots in the community run deep. We were founded 66 years ago by Roy O. Young, a young accountant for the J.J. Ross Mill Finishing Co., a seed cleaning and mill manufacturing company with a materials perforation department.
It turns out that the experience he gained from J.J. Ross would serve him well to establish a new business in the construction industry. When J.J. Ross decided to close its perforation department, Roy Young purchased the department for a new venture. He opened his new business at the same location it is today.

Mathews and Clark purchase Roy Manufacturing
In the early 1970s, Hank Mathews and John Clark purchased the business from Roy Young after careful vetting. The company was based on quality and excellence, so Roy was very particular about handing over the company properly to the new buyers. As part of the deal, Roy required Hank to work for Roy Manufacturing for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition before approving the company's sale.
