About Us

Frank Bacon Machinery Sales Co. has over 70 years of experience rebuilding equipment. Recognized as having the world’s largest inventory of surplus testing and inspection equipment. Our growth stemmed from the commitment to provide our customers the highest quality modernized products at the most affordable prices. The company continues to be family owned and operated with the same quality and guarantee.

1953 Frank Bacon had a vision for buying and selling used machinery. He purchased a small building in Detroit, MI and began running the business on his own.

1964 It was time to expand into a larger facility due to the success of the business. The company moved into a 5,000 sq. ft. building in Southfield, MI. Now managed by Frank Bacon and 2 employees.

1975 The company required more space as the business boomed. An 8,500 sq. ft. building in Warren, MI would do the trick, with a total of 6 employees.

2019 As the business grew space became limited, now with over 20 employees. A 30,000 sq. ft. facility was necessary to continue our rebuild operations and inventory warehouse.
