About us
LMT was founded in 1984 by Lee Pearson, shortly after selling his original waste equipment businesses. Our business continues to be family-owned and operated. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers, new and existing, for many years to come.
Lee Pearson and his brother, Vern Pearson, started the Pearson Brothers Company in 1961. The Pearson Brothers Company evolved into Pearson Industries. The original Better-Bilt liquid manure spreader was designed and built in Galva, Illinois by Pearson Industries. Pearson Industries spawned a number of other businesses including Industrial & Municipal Engineer (IME) and Pearson American Machine (PAMCO). While these companies no longer exist, the experience and respect gained as pioneers in the liquid waste industry continues today.
In the September 2004 issue of Pumper Magazine founder Leland Pearson was honored as one of the '25 Industry Pioneers'.
'Our industry has come a long way in the past 30 or 40 years, and in another 30 or 40 years we probably won't recognize the equipment, nor will we recognize the business. But some things don't change. If we sell at a fair price, if we treat our customers right, if when we make something that doesn't work right we fix it, then we can compete and be successful.' - Lee Pearson
