A family-owned manufacturer

Founded in 2008, Knapp-Built Machines began in a small garage with a simple mission: build reliable, high-quality equipment that local blueberry farmers could depend on. What started as a father-and-son operation quickly grew through hard work, innovation, and a commitment to serving the agricultural community.

John Knapp and his son, Brandon Knapp, combined decades of hands-on industry experience to design and manufacture equipment that delivered exceptional performance without the excessive costs often associated with larger manufacturers. Their practical knowledge of farming operations allowed them to create solutions that were not only durable and efficient but also tailored to the real-world needs of growers.

For more than two decades, John and Brandon have dedicated themselves to improving machinery for local farmers and businesses. Their philosophy has always been simple: build equipment the right way, stand behind your work, and continually look for ways to improve. Every machine reflects their commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and relentless pursuit of quality.

As the company has grown, so has its reputation for dependable equipment and outstanding customer support. Knapp-Built Machines continually invests in improving product quality, increasing equipment performance, and developing innovative solutions that help customers operate more efficiently and profitably.

Beyond building machines, John and Brandon are passionate about serving their community. They believe strong relationships, honest business practices, and helping others succeed are the foundation of lasting success. Their faith plays an important role in guiding both their personal lives and business decisions. The values of integrity, humility, service, and stewardship—rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ—remain at the heart of everything they do.

Today, Knapp-Built Machines continues to build on the same principles that started it all in that small garage: hard work, quality craftsmanship, innovative thinking, and a genuine commitment to helping customers and the community thrive.
