Thompson Tractor Company ended the celebration of its 50th anniversary Dec. 6 with a bang.

Approximately 1,200 customers, employees and other guests converged at the company’s headquarters in Birmingham, Ala.

Plenty of support was given by the many Caterpillar representatives that made their way from their offices in Peoria, Ill., and throughout the Southeast. It was a picture perfect evening and attendees enjoyed a nice steak dinner, giveaways, music, and lots of great Thompson and Cat hospitality.

Machines from all divisions of Thompson Tractor were displayed with representatives from Cat and Thompson on hand to answer any and all questions.
