Winkle expands parts and support capabilities

Winkle Industries, Alliance, Ohio, has expanded into a new 50,000-square-foot parts warehouse and service facility to support its nationwide dealers and their customers.

Joe Schatz, president of Winkle Industries, says the new facility, which is adjacent to Winkle’s main plant, will increase capacity for aftermarket renewal parts while allowing greater efficiency in its manufacturing operations. “With our increased inventory, we can be that much more responsive to our customers’ immediate needs, keeping in mind in their operations downtime is not an option,” he says.

The new warehouse also will house the receiving and inspection services for Winkle’s Unit Exchange components.

According to the company, its enhanced parts inventories will support Winkle’s role as exclusive distributor for industry-preferred brands in magnet power and control technologies, including Cutler-Hammer electrical components and systems, GTS generators, Hubbell controllers and Post Glover resistors, along with Winkle’s own full range of new and refurbished lifting magnets.

Founded in 1949, Winkle Industries, an ISO 9001:2008 facility, is a diversified supplier of engineered material handling products and contract manufacturing services. The company provides engineering design and analysis, manufacturing, remanufacturing, field services and aftermarket parts distribution to industrial markets worldwide.
