Wildeck, a leading material handling equipment and safety products manufacturer, will celebrate its 40th anniversary throughout 2016.

The company was established in Waukesha, Wisc., in 1976 and has evolved to become the a leading U.S. manufacturer of structural steel platforms, vertical lifts (VRCs), and safety guarding products in North America.

“We are extremely proud and thankful to have served a diverse range of customers for all these years and have no plans to slow down,” said Wildeck’s new president, Greg Larson. “We are a 100% employee owned ESOP company and that pride of ownership is reflected in the work we perform every day to ensure that our customers’ projects run smoothly.”

Wildeck is currently undergoing a thorough facility remodeling to modernize and streamline operations and provide space for the new employees it has been hiring. Plans are also in place to double company sales in the next four years and introduce several new products.

When renovation is complete in late spring or early summer, Wildeck is planning a gala Open House for all employees and their families to top off its year-long 40th anniversary celebration. The company will also unveil several new products at MHI’s MODEX Trade Show, April 4-7, in Atlanta.

“No other company designs and manufacturers such a comprehensive variety of products for industrial and commercial material handling applications,” said Hubert Schlegel, director of marketing for Wildeck. “Through the efforts of our dedicated team of employee owners, Wildeck remains committed to helping customers improve their supply chain operations, making them safer, more efficient, and more profitable.”
