Neat Companies’ legacy of service and growth
A family-owned business from Casey County grows to a nationwide operation
WHAT BEGAN AS A single-truck business delivering farm products around Kentucky has become a diverse set of companies that serve a host of clients of all kinds and sizes, offering products and services that stretch across the United States.
Neat Companies, based in Dunnville, is a distributor and manufacturer for the agricultural and construction sectors. Since the 1970s, the company has steadily expanded with the goal of branching out and offering more to their clients.
“Our business started with farm and ranch equipment, and we’ve continued to diversify into different product lines that can be sold to the same customer,” says Dustin Neat, vice president and COO.
As part of their diversification efforts, Neat Companies founded Nuflo in 2021, a manufacturer of high-quality polyethylene and polypropylene products like drainage pipes used for erosion control. “Instead of depending on other manufacturers for pipes, we felt driven to produce our own and control the supply to fulfill our customers’ needs,” says Brad Neat, president and COO.
Neat Companies has expanded over the decades to serve the lower 48 states. It has added two more distribution sites, located in Fairfield, Texas, and Corinne, Utah.
The business now employs 203 people. “We are very passionate about the people in our local community and in Kentucky. Our motto is faith, family and fleet, and every day we make sure to push that in our work,” says Greg Neat, who founded the company with his father and the support of his wife, Cecilia.
In addition to its current operations, Brad Neat says he is looking to increase manufacturing capacity with plans to install another Nuflo production line in Russell Springs.

Customer care first
Providing customer care has been Neat Companies’ top priority. “The customer always comes first—it’s at our core. The investments we have made are to ensure our customers are supported at the level that they expect,” says President and COO Brad Neat.
Neat Companies is served by Taylor County RECC and South Kentucky RECC. The company’s commitment to customers, the community and focus on innovation has been an integral part of its work, and has positioned it to find continued success.
