President and CEO Thomas Trapp started Bobcat Enterprises in Cincinnati more than 33 years ago.

“When I started Bobcat Enterprises in 1975, I wanted to have my business reflect what I learned as both an equipment mechanic and a salesman. Customers want service…before, during and after the sale. At Bobcat Enterprises, hard work is the rule, not the exception. Together, our employees and equipment work hard to give our customers the best quality service available. I am looking forward to hosting the North American Road Tour and enjoying the day with our many friends and customers while celebrating Bobcat’s 50th Anniversary.”

The Bobcat Enterprises dealership also carries Skyjack, JLG, and BMC Broderson Cranes as well as equipment support products.
