Dean "Barney" Barnette

Company History

In the world of industrial innovation, there are stories of visionaries who have left an indelible mark on their respective fields. Among these trailblazers were my grandparents, Dean “Barney” and Barbara Barnette, whose names will forever be associated with the rise of the survey marker industry. Barnette Industries began in the family garage in 1972. They saw an opportunity to create customized markers that met the unique needs of their clients across the United States.

Today, Barnette Industries is pursuing excellence, thanks to my Grandparent’s original vision, commitment to serve their customers, and our friends’ and families’ everlasting support. Barnette Industries continues to serve as a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to quality. As the new generation will continue, I am honored to grow my family’s business alongside my partner Tarin Tobin. We thank you for your continued business and we look forward to serving you in the many years to come!
