 Lewis
Machine Company
was established in 1979 by Eugene J.
Lewis, and his wife Bertha. Mr.
Lewis had worked in the poultry
industry since
the early 1960’s; first with Delong
and Lewis, and then
with Gainesville
Machine
Company, which later
became Stork
Gamco.
Mr. Lewis established a reputation
in the poultry industry as a “man
who could solve problems”.
Mr.
Lewis was a dedicated Christian. He
loved working with people. He spent
most of his adult life as a pastor.
He preached the gospel for 45 years,
and always found time to talk with
people about their relationship with
Jesus Christ.
 Mr.
Lewis enjoyed life. His idea of fun
was to grill hot dogs and hamburgers
for all the children and youth in
the community of the church he
served. He really enjoyed fishing,
both the relaxing part and the
challenging part. He would usually
find a place to fish, whether it was
a creek, pond, lake or ocean.
Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis worked together at
Lewis Machine Company and at
churches that they pastored. As Mr.
Lewis said, “they
were a team”.
Mr.
Lewis gave his children the
opportunity to gain experience, and
be a part of the business if they
chose to. The Lewis’s established
a rare way to pay the family by
compensating each person who
contributed to the success of the
company as the company was
established. They enjoyed seeing
their family blessed by the success of
Lewis
Machine Company.
Mr.
Lewis was diagnosed with Lou
Gehrig’s disease in 1996, and
passed away April 14, 1997. At that
time, Mr. Lewis, along with his
wife’s help, had developed and
patented several machines. He left a
legacy to his wife and children that
continues in the day to day
operation of Lewis
Machine Company.
Mrs.
Lewis is the CEO of Lewis
Machine Company. The experienced
team at Lewis
Machine Company
continues to manufacture dependable
and durable equipment. Employees of Lewis
Machine Company are
co-workers rather than employees
because of the relationship that has
been developed over the years. We
are very thankful to the Lord for
their dedication and commitment.
We
seek to continue to keep Jesus
Christ first as a Christian business
and as a benefit to the poultry
industry in the challenges that we
face.
