🔧🚜 Mobile’s Standard Equipment Co. — Powering the Tri-State Region Since 1946! 🚜🔧

Here’s a piece of Mobile’s industrial history you might not know about!
Standard Equipment Co., located at 18 Beauregard Street, has been serving Mobile and the surrounding region since 1946 — providing essential industrial equipment, farm machinery, and small engines to businesses across Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.

Founded by Rudolph Fierro, Jr., the company started with just two employees but quickly grew to become a leader in equipment sales and service for the entire Tri-State area.
