<p><em><strong>Broken Arrow, OK - </strong></em>BRADEN is celebrating 95 years of safety, innovation and excellence in manufacturing. Starting in 1924, Glenn Braden opened up a facility near present day downtown Tulsa and began building quality gear driven equipment for the local oil industry. BRADEN Steel soon had a line of winch, hoist and other gear driven systems for a wide range of industries. These products became a part of military efforts in World War II and were followed with a move to larger facilities in Broken Arrow, OK. The BRADEN name still lives on at that same Broken Arrow location with another plant in Okmulgee, OK.&nbsp;</p> <p>Find out more about the history of BRADEN Winch and the entire PACCAR Winch family on our<strong> <a href="https://www.paccarwinch.com/companyInfo/page/history">History Page</a>, </strong>social media pages&nbsp;and catch some limited edition classic BRADEN downloads on our <strong><a href="http://pwd.paccarwinch.com/ClassicNews.html">Classic News Page</a>.&nbsp;</strong></p>
