WELDON PARTS, INC.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Weldon Industries was founded in 1955 by brothers Leon and Dean Settles.&nbsp&nbsp The business started by making adjustable metal skids for the material handling industry; Dean made the skids in a shed on his farm northwest of North Bend; Leon sold them.&nbsp&nbsp In 1958 their business expanded to include wood pallets and grain bin construction.&nbsp&nbsp The expansion required more warehouse space prompting a move into a quonset in North Bend proper.&nbsp&nbsp Metal skid construction involved welding and as word of Dean's welding talent spread, local truckers began coming to Dean for trailer repair.&nbsp&nbsp Trailer repair often required additional parts, so Dean started stocking frequently used parts in their shop.&nbsp&nbsp Before long Weldon not only became known for trailer repair but also as a source for trailer parts.&nbsp&nbsp The business grew and in 1962 Weldon bought Equipment Brake Service Company in Omaha, a business from whom they were buying a lot of the products used in their repair work.&nbsp&nbsp They expanded the quonset in North Bend to include a 6000 sq.ft. concret-block building.&nbsp&nbsp Weldon Industries now included erecting grain bins, pallet construction, heavy duty welding, and heavy duty truck and trailer parts.&nbsp&nbsp Weldon began using small trucks loaded with parts to expand their market to include rural repair shops and small fleets in the surrounding areas.&nbsp&nbsp A major decision was made in 1968 to abandon the pallet business, cease grain bin construction and sell the Brake Service Company in Omaha.&nbsp&nbsp Non-vehicle activities were low profit and the Omaha store was difficult to manage from North Bend.&nbsp&nbsp Weldon would now focus theirs effort on the heavy duty truck part sales and service industry.&nbsp&nbsp 1971 brought another change to Weldon Industries, the company inventory was split and Leon embarked on another expansion in Oklahoma named Weldon Parts.&nbsp&nbsp Weldon Parts started in Moore Oklahoma but after some months moved from Moore to Oklahoma City.&nbsp&nbsp Over the next forty years Weldon Parts continued to expand to other markets in Tulsa, Little Rock, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Woodard, Muskogee, Jacksonville, Clinton, Elk City, Joplin, and McAlester.&nbsp&nbsp In 2012 the original Weldon Industries locations in Nebraska were reunited and merged with Weldon Parts of Oklahoma to form what is today Weldon Parts Inc.&nbsp&nbsp One additional location was added after the Nebraska merger in Perryton TX.
