BEI
International (formerly known as BEI
Inc) was purchased October 2008 under the new ownership of Rick Mckibben,
Jeff Mckibben, Max Lint and Bill Evashevski. Though new owners, they
are not new to BEI or Harvesting.
In 1959 co-founder H. Mckibben, grandfather of brothers Jeff and Rick Mckibben, launched his patented design for Mechanical Harvesting. 50 years later grandson Jeff Mckibben is again leading the Harvesting industry wtih his patented "Centipede Scale System".
