Our History

Branham Corporation was founded in 1973 as Branham-Mingis by the late William E. Branham and Stephen Mingis, housed in a small 3,000 square foot facility located in Louisville, Kentucky. Over the ensuing 35 years this company evolved as Branham Corporation, growing both organically and through acquisition to a current position encompassing 5 large fabrication/distribution plants and 8 sales locations throughout the eastern and southeastern US, and most recently (2007) a fabrication facility in Yantai, China that provides both sourcing opportunities as well as a sales & marketing opportunity in Asia.

Not only has our organization grown over the years to now employ more than 100 full time skilled and experienced personnel, but our product lines have expanded exponentially from its original “industrial rubber distribution” moniker.
