ABOUT GREENHECK |
||||||
Greenheck's strong growth keeps it Number 1 in air movement and control.
Greenheck, America's leading manufacturer of ventilation equipment, has come a long way since 1947 when it opened for business as a tiny sheet metal shop in Schofield, Wis. Founders Bernie and Bob Greenheck, though always determined to make their business grow, never imagined how large their enterprise would someday become. And grow it has. Today, Greenheck designs, manufactures and ships fans and ventilators, centrifugal and vane axial units, make-up air units, energy recovery ventilators, dampers, louvers, kitchen ventilation systems, and laboratory exhaust systems around the world. No other company offers a wider selection of these products. The company has sales in excess of $400 million annually, employs more than 2,500 and has over 1.4 million square feet of manufacturing space. No matter how you measure it, Greenheck is number one in air movement and control. Most manufacturing takes place in Schofield, a small city adjacent to the northern Wisconsin business hub of Wausau. The company also has two other damper/louver manufacturing facilities in Frankfort, KY. and Sacramento, Calif.
Greenheck products are usually hidden behind the walls or on the roofs of office buildings, hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, schools, industrial plants and other commercial buildings. Their function, basically, is to move air in, out and around a building--making life inside a lot more pleasant. Pride of ownership.In 1997, the company paused briefly one Saturday night to commemorate its 50th anniversary. But nobody spends much time looking at the past; they're too focused on the future and their strong commitments to new product development and customer service. As a Midwest-based company, Greenheck's success is partially due to the region's well-deserved reputation for quality workers who have an unusually strong work ethic. Its people may be even more motivated than most, thanks to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan that's been in place for several years. The ESOP ensures that every employee shares directly in the future success of the company. From plant workers to senior engineers, these employee owners are deeply committed to making continuous improvements in everything the company does. Investing in itself.
Greenheck consistently invests substantially in new facilities
designed to better serve its customers. During each of the last
five years, Greenheck has increased its manufacturing space by
an average of more than 65,000 square feet. The most recent expansion
projects were a 50,000-square-foot addition to its Schofield damper
and louver plant in 1998 and a 72,000-square-foot centrifugal
fan manufacturing center and corporate headquarters in 1997, also
in Schofield. Both of those facilities were built in response
to increasing demand for dampers and louvers used to control airflow,
and for the company's heavy duty lines of centrifugal, vane axial
and tube axial fans used in industrial settings.
The company's Product Center in Schofield, completed in 1996,
offers a general overview of more than 100 Greenheck air moving
and control products. It also provides customers and manufacturers
reps with opportunities to focus on individual products in both
static displays and working models. A unique bi-level area features
roof-mounted equipment above, connected by ductwork to interior
equipment below, to showcase roof-mounted units such as four-way
fans and kitchen ventilation systems. The Product Center serves
as an ideal training site for thousands of manufacturer's reps
and customers each year, with a dedicated presentation room complete
with full multimedia capabilities and a computer-based training
area. Delivery is the key.
