Nut equipment supplier Nelson Manufacturing was formed in 1968 as a welding and repair shop, using that background to become the quality trusted brand it is today.
In 1982, Nelson purchased the Air-blast sprayer portion of Hardie sprayers from Lockwood Corporation in Nebraska. They rebranded the product line “Nelson Hardie” not long after. All stainless steel hoods, doors, panels, and plumbing were updated throughout the years. Nelson introduced the Nelson “SuperTuff” reinforced composite air blast fans and made the change to John Deere engines.
