Started in 1954 by Cliff LaGasse, LaGasse Machine & Fabrication is a 65+ year member of the Lyons, New York Community; custom metal fabrication & machining has long been the base business. When Cliff’s son Dan took over the business in 1983, it was not long before Dan grew the business by adding the Harder Dump Box Spreaders and took on two large ag equipment product lines: Automated Ag Harvest Assist Platforms & Munckhof Sprayers. LaGasse has made a name for itself in the community as well as outside the community as a trusted partner to all customers & community members! LaGasse has several distinct parts to its business, from large weldment fabrication and machining to specialized agricultural equipment.
