In 1970, armed with several years of experience in fabricating portable structures, A.L. Hartley recognized the need for consistent quality, innovation, and market sensitivity in the portable building industry. Mr. Hartley had a vision of producing a quality portable building for a reasonable price... so, he launched a new enterprise of his own... Robin Builders, Inc.

Mr. Hartley's energies and entrepreneurial spirit have since been supplemented and complemented as Mr. Hartley surrounded himself with a capable and enthusiastic team of management and production professionals. The "little" operation that began has now mushroomed into "a giant player" in the field of portable utility buildings. In 1979, Mr. Hartley added a manufacturing facility in Lake Wales, FL.

The management of the Central Florida operation of Robin Builders was passed on to the second generation Hartley in the 1980's to his son Lewis. Raised in the business, he continues to carry onward Mr. Hartley's "Family Commitment to Excellence".
