HOME > COMPANY > ABOUT
Tennessee River Implement was built the same way our equipment is built: strong, steady, and made to last. In 1989, Wally and Shirley Cunningham started the company in a two-bay garage behind their home with a welder, a few tools, and a lot of determination. They built equipment local farmers could depend on, and word spread fast. As the shop grew from two bays to four, so did the demand. In 1995, the company moved to the local industrial park, where it still operates today with the same focus on honest work and dependable quality.
When Wally and Shirley retired in 2012, Dylan and his mother Tracey took the lead, keeping the business in the family and the values intact. What started as a small-town shop now supplies dealers and distributors across the United States and Canada. From the first weld to the final delivery, every implement still starts right here in Tennessee. At Tennessee River Implement, we do not chase trends or cut corners. We build equipment that lasts because our family name is on it.
