Elmer`s son Tom began working at Miller Loaders in 1972, and when Elmer passed away in 1988, Tom became the president and general manager of the company. All of Elmer`s ideas and concepts are still implemented to this day in every product made.

The original loader, the Model 12, was the primary product until 1993, when Tom developed two new loaders for front-wheel assist tractors, the PL-2 and PL-3. With increasing sales and a developing product line, Miller Loaders frequently added new buildings to their rural manufacturing site.

However, in 1996, Tom made the decision to take an important step for the company - entering the computer age for product development and manufacturing. An Engineering Department was created and is headed by Tim Miller, Tom`s son. Tim has a Mechanical Engineering degree and uses computers in every stage of a new product`s design. Tom and Tim also began plans to build a 25,000 square-foot manufacturing plant. The primary reason for the new building was to get the entire operation under one roof. The new facility also allowed Miller Loaders to update much of the machinery as well as improve material handling capabilities. The building was completed in September of 1998.

So, Elmer`s concept of strength and simplicity at a reasonable price continues at Miller Loaders. In fact, the basic design of his original Model 12 loader is still in production today - demonstrating that simplicity still works in a complicated world.
