Marathon / New York / United States
In 1963 our business was established as a builder and fabricator of new and refurbished fire apparatus, specialty welding, and custom fabrications. Then in 1981 we initiated a new product line, fabricating and rebuilding stainless steel dairy tanks and trailers. In 1992 declining demand, due to fewer dairy farmers, resulted in poor annual sales. Recognizing the need for new products, services, and re-structuring ; Jeffrey Slack was recruited as General Manager. Jeff brought to the table 20 years of experience in the truck and truck equipment business. Upon the closing of a local truck fabrication shop, Jeff recognized the need for a quality builder of propane bobtails and cylinder service bodies. Addition of these product lines as well as others brought new growth to the company. In 2002 Jeff made a decision to expand his business in a related but different line of truck equipment. Kurtz Welding began offering a full line of truck equipment including dump bodies, service and platform bodies, electric and hydraulic hoists, material handling cranes, vacuum tankers and any accessories that would go along with this type of equipment. Kurtz Welding is proud to have such recognized product lines as Bibeau, Knapheide, Venturo, and Roll-Rite. On April 2, 2007 Kurtz Welding changed its name to Kurtz Truck Equipment to better reflect the types of fabrication lines available. The company is still owned by the family of Jeffrey Slack ; and therefore, Kurtz Truck Equipment will provide the same quality products with the same great service as it has always done. Kurtz Truck Equipment is known for its high quality equipment and its fabricators. The Kurtz workforce is dedicated on a daily basis to ensure that we always exceed our customers expectation and needs.
