The roots of Bently Enterprises go back to 1956.
This was the year Don Bently formed his own company to sell machinery diagnostic parts out of his garage in Berkeley, California.
More than a half century later, Christopher Bently manages the Bently companies in industries ranging from ranching to real estate — all tied together with a common theme: to be environmentally friendly, use innovative technology, and to preserve the history and community of the areas served by his businesses.
While we’re planning on growing even more over the next fifty years, no matter what changes we’ll always hold true to the ideals of innovation and ethical business practices.
