DOVER CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Our long history of making successful acquisitions began with Fred Durham, CEO from 1955 to 1964. In just over half a century, Dover has acquired hundreds of manufacturing companies around the world. This acquisition strategy has benefited Dover stockholders, employees, and customers. Throughout the company’s history, there have been only six CEOs. Following in Fred Durham’s footsteps, Tom Sutton (seated right) was at the helm from 1964 to 1981; followed by Gary Roubos (seated left) from 1981 to 1994; Tom Reece (standing right) from 1994 to 2004; and Ron Hoffman (standing left), 2005 to 2008. Robert A. Livingston, who took over as CEO in 2008, is not pictured.
