A look at the past...

Vestil Manufacturing Company and all affiliates and subsidiaries is a fourth-generation family-owned and operated business. We were founded in 1957 in Albion, Michigan when the owners of T & S Equipment started a new company with the intention of manufacturing truck and rail dock equipment. T & S Equipment started with 20 employees and 11,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The dock seal division of United Tractor was purchased in 1968 for the purpose of expanding the product assortment. During the 1970’s, the company redefined its product strategy to include material handling equipment. A concerted effort was made to focus specifically on custom-made electric/hydraulic equipment. In 1982, Vestil moved from Michigan into a new larger building in Angola, Indiana to allow for future growth opportunities. In the late 1980s, the material handling industry began to grow as employers sought to lighten the load on their employees. Vestil built a new manufacturing facility to meet that demand in 1989. This new facility addressed immediate space needs and laid the foundation for additional growth. 6 expansions followed from 1990-1997. We achieved even greater organizational growth in 1998, 2005, and 2010. In 2018, a new 225,000 sq. ft. fulfillment center with a state of the art warehouse management system was constructed to extend our 48-hour quick ship program to even more products. This expansion allowed us to better service our growing customer base. Please click here to see how you can become a dealer of these precision engineered products.
