Company Wrench Celebrates Success

Company Wrench, a distributor of heavy equipment for the recycling industry, held an Open House Nov. 18-19 to celebrate the official opening of its new headquarters in Carroll, Ohio.

Groundbreaking on the 26,000 square foot building was held April 4, 2005. The cost of the construction was $2.4 million, and the company received assistance from the Fairfield County, Ohio Economic Development Office on the project.

The company, which hopes to reach sales of $50 million within the next five years, has grown significantly from its start in 1999 when it was focused as a truck, trailer and equipment shop in central Ohio.

The company added to its portfolio when it became a dealer of Stanley Hammer, LaBounty Attachments, Allied, Gehl, XL Specialty Trailers, Norris, and Beka-Max in 2001. While the company began as a parts and services company for the equipment, in 2002 the company became a full fledged distributor of the equipment, as well as providing parts and services.

Two years later the company became the country’s No. 1 La Bounty dealer.

Brad Hutchinson, co-owner of the company, says that one big advantage the company has is that it keeps a large supply of equipment on hand. This gives the company a quicker turnaround when a customer is seeking equipment, whether it is a purchase, rental or lease.

While located in central Ohio, the company sells equipment throughout the country.

As the company sees strong growth going forward the company is expected to open an additional facility in the Cleveland area by early next year.
