Barber-Greene founded in 1916 by American mechanical engineers Harry H. Barber and William B. Greene, was a company formed to sell standardized material-handling machines to mechanize small manual tasks in an economical way. It is best known for its contributions to the asphalt field. Based in Preston, Lancashire they have been manufactured continuously in the UK since 1941.
Caterpillar acquired Barber-Greene in 1991. Another company based in England, named BGP-group, began marketing a line of machines in the U.K. These machines carried similar design cues and model identification to the old Barber Greene models and have since undergone several upgrades and BGP-group continues as an independent company.
