It all started about 30 years ago with Troy D. Tessneer and Bobby F. Tessneer, two brothers working on lift trucks for Clark Industrial Trucks, a very prestigious company. In 1988, they decided to open their own business. So they bought the business from Mr. Lowell Presnell and called the business Western North Carolina Forklift. Due to a name conflict with another company, in the early 90s our name was changed to the well know Tessneer Forklift Inc. Currently all the Tessneer sons work for the Company.
