Today, the FlintCo Family of Companies Flint Equipment Company, Albany Tractor Company and Flint Power Systems, with 17 offices in three states stands at the forefront of the equipment industry in

By 1968, John Deere had expanded into the heavy construction equipment market and the dealership was sold to a small group of local investors. The heavy equipment division of the company was named Flint Equipment Company and the agricultural division became Albany Tractor Company. In 1979, a new division, selling and servicing large industrial, agricultural and marine engines was added Flint Power Systems (formerly known as Engine Distributors). In 2002, the company which had prospered and grown from 15 employees in 1968 to over 280 employees was purchased by Mr. Thomas C. Cannon, a lifelong resident of Albany, Georgia.
In 1932, John Deere opened a sales and service location in Albany, Georgia to serve southwest Georgias large farm population small beginnings for a company that would one day grow into the multi-faceted FlintCo of today.
