Innovation at work
About MAC Company
MAC Company was founded in 2019 by Peter Christianson and Tom Lykken. They saw a need in the market for a compact loader with better visibility and minimal ground and turf disturbance. They collaborated to design the SwingSteer loader and the mid-size ProSeries attachments.
Peter has been in the Ag & CE equipment industry for over 40 years. He first worked with skid steers in 1973, demonstrating and selling the Hydra Mac, which was the first hydraulic drive skid steer loader. After joining his family’s dealership, he operated a dealership, CI Farm Power, in Fargo North Dakota. Peter was also a partner in Fargo Products and was instrumental in the development of aftermarket tracks for row crop tractors. In 2002 he joined forces with David Meyer at Titan machinery while continuing to work closely with Fargo Products and was instrumental in driving the development of combine tracks for CNHi. Innovative solutions that create progress and improve productivity have always been his passion.
Tom Lykken has been in product development for nearly 50 years. He was Chief Engineer at the CNHi “Steiger” tractor plant during the development of tracks for CNHi 4WD tractors, initially on the 9000 series tractors, and then led the development of the totally new STX tractors that are largely unchanged and continue to be a flagship CNHi product today. His creativity, innovative approach to product development and engineering experience, including articulated steering, powertrains and hydraulics was critical to the development of the SwingSteer™ SW380 and all the attachments that make it so versatile.
Today, MAC Company is headquartered in West Fargo ND where the SwingSteer™ and ProSeries attachments are designed and built. MAC Company has patents and patents pending on the SwingSteer™ and ProSeries attachments, protecting their innovative designs. Innovation at work perfectly describes MAC Company and the driving motivation of its founders.
