We’re Celebrating 25 Years!!
Bader & Sons Co. was established
in the summer of 1988 by James E.
Bader and his wife, Valma, when
they purchased the St. Louis
location. John Deere Farm
equipment has been part of the
Bader family for four generations
dating back to the 1930’s. It’s been a
long tradition in the Bader family to
provide customers and friends with
quality sales, parts, and service for
over nine decades.
After growing the business from a
handfull of employees to over 20,
Jim Bader passed away in March,
2000 from a fast growing cancer.
Valma, Paul, and Mark Bader took
over the reins and continued to
grow the business. Over the next 5
years we added 4 more stores; two
locations in Portland and Grand
Ledge purchased from John &
Shirley Lich, one in Linwood from
the Gettel organization, and a new
start-up in Mt. Pleasant. In March
of 2009, Bader & Sons Co. decided
to further expand by acquiring the
Hoyt E. Weylan dealership in
Tecumseh, MI. Shortly after the
new purchase, in the spring of 2009,
tragedy struck our Mt. Pleasant
location—a fire devastated the
property and there was not much
left when the flames were finally
extinguished. It was decided, to
better serve the Ag customers to the
north, we would rebuild in
Rosebush, MI. Three years later in
2012, Bader & Sons Co. purchased
another dealership, Thesier Equipment
Co. in South Lyon, MI, making it our
7th location. Currently Bader & Sons
Co. employs over 170 people in Central
and Lower Michigan. We offer sales,
parts, and service of new and used
farm and lawn and garden equipment
to the farming & commercial industry,
governmental agencies, municipalities,
and residential property owners . We
can serve you with quality equipment,
factory trained service technicians, and
the largest parts department in the
area.
We want to thank all of our customers
for allowing Bader & Sons Co. to
celebrate our 25th anniversary! Your
business & support over the years has
proven time and time again why we
are in this business, doing the things
we love to do. Thank you for being a
part of our family for over 25 years…
we look forward to the next 25 with
you!
