We are a company with a long history that demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the industrial machinery business. In 1897, my great-grandfather, Louis Sogolovitz founded a company here in Cleveland, Ohio to dismantle and recycle items for industry and consumers. His basic idea was to sell items that were no longer needed by one person or company but could be used by another.

Louis was assisted in the company, in 1910's, by my grandfather, Nathan Sogolovitz and his brothers. When my father, Irving Arnold, married my mother in 1936, he soon joined the family enterprise. My father shortly began to see the value of specializing in industrial ventures.

In 1957 my father left the family business to start the Arnold-Roblin Company with an emphasis on recycling machinery and equipment for the chemical and related industries. I joined the company in 1960, and within a few years was able to refine the company into our present mode of doing business.


Our new warehouse is located in Cleveland, Ohio,
just off of interstate route 90, on lake Erie... In 1995, my son Jon, a great-great-grandson of Lous Sogolovitz joined Arnold Equipment Company as the fifth direct generation to be working in this industry. Jon brought our company into the new millennium with an active program for us on the Internet. He has enabled us to remain competitive by generating many sales which were directly related to our Website.

In 2002, another of my sons, Seth, joined our team in the position of Operations Manager. Seth brings a broad range of knowledge that he has developed in 20 years of varied experiences in organizational developement, database design, accounting, marketing, and customer relations.

With our heritage of 110 years, we are ready for the new century and prepared to do business with new ideas and plans but with the old traditions of honesty and fair dealings with ALL of our customers and suppliers. Hopefully, we can do some future business with YOU.
