About The Company

In 1932, John Deere opened a sales and service location in Albany, Georgia, to serve the area’s large farm population. By 1968, John Deere expanded into the heavy construction equipment market, and the dealership was sold to a small group of local investors. The heavy equipment division of the company was named Flint Equipment, and the agricultural division became Albany Tractor Company. In 1979, a new division was added. Flint Power Systems, formerly known as Engine Distributors, was formed to sell and service large industrial, agricultural, and marine engines in the Southeastern United States and Caribbean. In 2002, the company which had prospered and grown from 15 employees in 1968 to over 280 employees was purchased by Mr. Thomas C. Cannon, a lifelong resident of Albany, Georgia. Today, the Ag & Turf Division, with 8 locations in Southwest Georgia, and the Power Systems Division, still covering the Southeastern US and Caribbean, are held under the brand name Flint. The long and noteworthy history of John Deere and Flint is testament to the continued belief that good customers and good employees are the power that drives the company.
