The company was founded in 1961 around the corner from their current location on Detroit Avenue by Albert T. Stohr, Sr. Upon his sudden death in 1964, Albert T Stohr, Jr. took over the leadership of the organization at the age of 23. In 1979, after almost two decades of growth, Conveyer & Caster acquired Rowe Bumpers and created the Rowe Bumper Division of Conveyer & Caster.
Albert welcomed his two sons into the company after they gained work experience outside the family business. Jeff joined the company in 1989 after working in technical sales for Parker Hannifin and Trevor followed in 1992 after working as a sales and marketing representative for Shell Oil.
