Hatton, Brown & Co., Inc. was established in 1953, the same year the company started a new Southern regional logging title, Pulpwood Production . At 33, Charles Cline joined the company as editor in the summer of 1953 and helped get the first issue into print that August.

Dianne Sullivan joined the company as circulation manager in 1964.
In 1966 and 1967 Hatton and Cline searched for a full time advertising salesman and editor. David Ramsey, joined the staff as sales manager February 1968 and David Knight joined the company 30 days later as an editor.
Mr. Hatton retired in 1971 selling his stock to Charles Cline, David Ramsey and David Knight. Dianne Sullivan then became office manager.
Anticipating the need for an economical logging newspaper in the South, Hatton-Brown launched Loggin' Times (later titled Southern Loggin' Times ) in 1972. In late 1974, sensing a change in the nature of the traditional pulpwood market, management decided to phase in a new name for Pulpwood Production & Saw Mill Logging . The latter part of the title was dropped and replaced with the words, Timber Harvesting. The journal carried a double title until it went national in 1977 and became more fittingly known as Timber Harvesting . In 1977 Timber Processing Industry , (later shortened to Timber Processing ) began as a regional tabloid newspaper for the sawmill Industry and remained so until 1978. In 1979 Timber Processing became a national sawmill magazine.
In 1981 Charles Cline retired and David Ramsey and David Knight became the new owners. Ramsey and Knight formed a new corporation Hatton-Brown Publishers, Inc. Dianne Sullivan became secretary of the corporation, and was named general manager and joined the owners on the board of directors.

Hatton-Brown diversified its publishing interests in January 1991 by acquiring its first non-forestry or paper related title, Chain Saw Age & Power Equipment Trade . To position the publication for expanded outdoor power equipment advertising opportunities, the company in January 1992, officially changed the publication's title to Power Equipment Trade .
In 1995 Hatton-Brown purchased its first consumer publication, IronWorks , a nine-times-per-year upscale magazine appealing to Harley-Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts. Dennis Stemp, founder of the magazine remained as editor until his death.
