Knaack was founded in 1960 as a supplier of
jobsite storage boxes to construction supply houses.
Knaack LLC, a maker of
jobsite storage products, will start a yearlong 50th anniversary celebration next
month.
The celebration begins May
6 with a press event at the company’s Crystal Lake, Ill., headquarters, and
will include an employee party two days later.
“We would like to thank all
the folks who made the first 50 years of Knaack possible,” said company
President Chad Severson.
“Our gratitude begins with the folks who use our products for a
living, to trusted channel partners, and to both current and prior employees of
Knaack. Finally, we’d like to recognize our suppliers, for without their help
along the way, we wouldn’t be observing this wonderful milestone.”
Knaack was founded in 1960
as a supplier of jobsite storage boxes to construction supply houses. Its
original headquarters was 2,000 square feet. Today it has a 400,000-square-foot
facility and 285 employees.
“As a company, our focus has always been on providing our
customers with high-quality products that are secure, durable and convenient to
use,” Severson added. “We’ve been successfully doing this for the last 50 years
and we’ll remain consistent with these values as we move forward into the
future.”
