Polen Implement is a family business established in 1932 by Tom Polen, Sr. Originally, the company began as two businesses: a fencing company and a farm implement company. This business was originally housed in the Elyria street car building on Oberlin Road in Elyria, Ohio. Dick Polen joined Tom, Sr. in 1960 and during the 1970s, Dick assumed ownership of the farm implement business, while his brother, Tom, assumed ownership of the fencing company. Continuing the family tradition, Dick works with his two sons, Tony and Rich, and his son-in-law, Steve.
