History
Pickwick Manufacturing Services has grown from a tiny local job shop to a nationally recognized metal fabricator with annual growth averaging 15 percent each year for the last quarter-century. International Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have relied on Pickwick to flow complex metal fabricated parts, weldments and assemblies to their assembly lines and plants for decades.
Pickwick began its work in 1939 as a manufacturer of poultry processing equipment. After decades of success serving that market, the company diversified to include subcontracted metal manufacturing services in 1974.
In 1985, the acquisition of the first sheet laser in the United States and CAD technology established Pickwick as an innovative supplier of precision metal parts and fabrications. Today, our Fabrigear structural steel and tube laser enables faster, less expensive production of structural members. Leading OEMs rely on Pickwick for highly flexible, short-run applications and expedited delivery of whole goods, sheet metal parts, weldments, fabrications, kits and final assemblies.
Continuous improvement has earned the company excellent growth, which led to Pickwick being named among approximately 400 manufacturers on Inc. Magazine’s list of 5000 fastest-growing privately held companies in 2008.
Pickwick is ready to be your partner, providing value-driven innovation and agility for your industry from the heart of the Midwest.
