Austin, Martin and Harry started Dearborn Fabricating & Engineering with the Wells family in a ten thousand square feet facility in Dearborn, Michigan in 1947. The company soon moved to a larger facility in Detroit, supplying and installing crane systems. In 1955 Harry opened the Mishawaka, Indiana facility. In 1956 the company purchased the American Cable Company and started providing overhead and floor conveyor systems for the automobile industry. The Detroit and Mishawaka facilities were separated when Austin died. Martin owned the Detroit facility, which specialised in the conveyor systems. In 1984 he sold the company to a group of managers and employees. They sold the company in 1987 to Philips Industries of Dayton, Ohio, who also owned Dearborn Mid-West Conveyor Co. The two conveyor-manufacturing companies were merged in 1994 and operate today as Dearborn Mid-West Conveyor Co. Harry owned the Mishawaka facility, which continues to manufacture cranes under the name of Dearborn Crane & Engineering. It is now owned by Harry's son Larry and grandson Tad.
