Custom Made Products

Custom Made Products was started in 1968 by Gary Naeve, when he developed and invented a front mount fuel tank and obtained a patent. This was a needed solution to a problem that he was facing in his own farming operation. The first eight fuel tanks were produced in Gary's shop at his farm. After Gary hired a local company to produce the tanks, he eventually decided to sell that part of the business to Simerson Iron Works in Sioux Rapids, Iowa. A few more years passed before Gary's entrepreneurial spirit was kindled again. He had been helping a friend with some dirt work in the process of building a hog confinement. It was then that Gary became aware of dirt moving equipment and he quickly became a dealer for a number of dirt scraper manufacturers.
In the fall of 2004, Gary added land rollers to his line. He is now the "largest dealer" in the United States. Tractor - Custom Made Products Co. In 1996, Gary's son Rod began a trucking operation underneath the Custom Made Products name.
From a startup of only one truck, Rod has grown to become an outfit of 20 trucks with a wide range of flatbeds, vans, feed and grain trailers, and heavy equipment hauling for a diverse range of hauling ability.
