The year 2025 marks our company's 75th anniversary. Crowther Machinery was founded in 1950 when John H. Crowther came from England to open a division of Crowther UK.

​

In 1982, Guy Lemieux, as the majority shareholder, and his partners, purchased the company. In 2005, W.S. Wood Associates was acquired. This family business had been founded in the 1950s by W.S. Wood.

​

In 2019, the two companies merged to become Crowther & Wood.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary, we offered a souvenir (pictures) to thank Guy Lemieux, Dave Wood, our employees, and our Central American division, Crowther & Wood CentroAmerica.

This growth enables us to continue providing exceptional service and support to our clients from our new location.
