Our family history in this business goes back even further than 1946. This was just the year we were officially established as Corriher Implement Company. My great-great grandfather started out in this business in the mid 1850's by selling mules for pulling plows.
My grandfather sold mules until the early 1900's, and then sold the first Allis-Chalmers tractors that were built. My father, Charles Corriher Sr., worked at his father's dealership when he was a kid, just like me.

My father attended The Citadel, served in WWII, and came back to graduate from The Citadel with honors. He came back to a fully stocked Allis-Chalmers dealership in Newton, NC in December of 1946 thanks to the dedication and hard work of my grandfather. It was then that my father began focusing his efforts not only on selling tractors, but also on the implements (attachments) that made them so useful. Corriher Implement Company was born.

We switched tractor lines from Allis-Chalmers to Ford in 1968. I've spent most of my life here since I was 2 years old, and have seen many changes come about. I saw Ford become New Holland, watched the transformation of the skid steer into the powerful machines they have become today, and seen the popularity of the Excavator and Mini Excavator grow, and I have seen many different attachments come and go. |

When my turn came to take over the family business, I decided to give up our successful New Holland dealership to pursue creating the best place to learn about and purchase attachments on the Internet, and the chapter in our family history called Everything Attachments was just beginning to be written.
Like my father, and his father before him, I am committed to providing the highest quality attachments that will serve their owners well time and time again. They built this business on a strong foundation of putting the customers needs in front of their own. Giving great advice about which attachments works best for which piece of equipment is a tradition that is still at the heart of our business.
