Rome

The roots of the Rome Plow Company extend back to 1877, with the establishment of the Towers and Sullivan Plow Company in Rome, Georgia. A significant turning point arrived in 1932 when Tom Mullen and Jack Lemann acquired the company, refocusing its efforts on crafting robust tillage equipment specifically designed for Caterpillar tractors. The operation relocated from its original home in Rome to Cedartown in 1934, and remains headquartered there to this day. In 1976, Rome broadened its scope by acquiring the Woods & Copeland tractor line, consolidating all production activities in Cedartown. The company became renowned for its large, fully articulated tractors, complemented by precisely matched implements, maximizing operational effectiveness. While Rome ceased tractor production in 1986, it continues its legacy by manufacturing high-performance, heavy-duty implements.
