PATTERSON Cheney is celebrating 30 years in Dandenong.
The head office on Cheltenham Road employs about 170 people and the company has about 450 staff overall.
It was born in Flinders Street, Melbourne, in 1915, when SA Cheney became an assembler of US vehicles.
Bill Patterson bought into the business in 1972 and it’s been known as Patterson Cheney ever since. It’s now owned by the Bertalli family.
