When purchasing equipment, you’re getting more than just steel and hydraulics. It’s a choice that impacts performance, reliability, productivity, and the people who stand behind every machine. At Barreto, we believe these qualities begin with how and where we build our equipment.

For more than 40 years, we have proudly made our machines in the United States, with over 80% of our parts made in-house. By keeping manufacturing close to home, we’re able to stay closely involved, maintain high quality, improve our designs, and make sure every machine performs when it counts.

American Manufacturing Is More Than a Location.

For us, building equipment in the U.S. means more than simply deciding where our machines are made. It means taking a hands-on approach and staying involved throughout the entire process. Because we manufacture most of our own parts, we have the unique ability to have greater control over the individual components that shape every piece of equipment. From the first cut through welding, machining, assembly, and final inspection, our team keeps a close eye on quality at every stage allowing us to quickly improve, make changes when needed, and keep every machine consistent. It also means we take real pride in our work, since our team builds each machine from start to finish.

The People Behind Every Machine.

Behind every Barreto machine is a team of skilled people. Our equipment passes through the hands of employees who understand the materials, the manufacturing process, and the demands placed on the equipment in the field. Each department plays an important role in creating equipment that customers can depend on.

Building our machines in house means our employees work closely together. Often only a few steps or a building away from each other. This makes it easy to solve problems, share expertise, and collaborate in real time. Because everyone

is nearby, questions get answered quicker and each stage of building a machine is seamless. Close proximity and teamwork are part of what sets Barreto apart, every machine reflects the combined experience, skill, and attention of the people who build it.

Quality Starts at the Source.

Manufacturing in house also gives us greater oversight to quality. Each part of the manufacturing process is an opportunity to focus on precision, consistency, and excellence before it goes into a machine.

We build our machines to perform in tough environments where equipment is put to the test every day. That’s why every detail matters, from the parts we make to the way we assemble each machine. Our goal is simple: build equipment that works as hard as the people who use it.

Built With Purpose. Built for the Job.

Our customers count on their equipment to get the job done. Whether you’re on a jobsite, landscaping, working construction, or anywhere else, downtime isn’t an option.

That’s why we build our equipment to deliver reliability and consistency. American manufacturing allows us to oversee the products we build and connect with the people who use them. After more than four decades of manufacturing, that commitment remains at the heart of Barreto.

From Our Facility to Your Jobsite.

When a Barreto machine leaves our facility, it carries more than steel, hydraulics, and parts. It carries over forty years of manufacturing experience. It carries the work of the people who built and inspected it. And it carries the pride of being made with purpose and attention to detail. From our facility to your jobsite, that’s what it means to be built Barreto tough.
