Barker Company began in 1982 when Jack McMahon purchased the refrigeration division of Barker Products Corporation. He and nine other employees began manufacturing pizza and egg display cases for the supermarket industry. Four months later, son Pat joined the team as the tenth employee.

The company quickly found a market niche by designing custom equipment to meet each customer's special needs. As sales rose, they added more employees including brothers, Mike, Tim and Tom McMahon. Currently the company employs approximately 450 people with plants in Keosauqua, Iowa and in Centerville, Iowa.

Barker Company now manufactures many lines of refrigerated, non-refrigerated and hot display cases for the supermarket, convenience store and food service industries. The same customer-driven philosophy that Jack McMahon brought in to the business in 1982, is apparent in every order that is taken today.

"Build what the customer wants" - is more than a motto at Barker Company.
