1996
Poynette Ironworks was founded in Poynette, Wisconsin, by brothers Bob, Guy, and Kim. They started by repairing dumpsters, operating from a single building with a rusty pickup truck and a John Deere tractor. Their mission was to “Kick our competition’s butts … by spoiling our customers rotten.”
Over the next 25+ years, Poynette Ironworks expanded into a 110,000-square-foot facility employing over 85 individuals. They delivered more than 30,000 truckloads of containers, totaling nearly 400 million pounds of steel. The company became the Midwest’s largest and most reliable manufacturer of large-scale, heavy-duty steel products, specializing in refuse and recycling containers for various applications.

Iron Crest Co. was established as the parent company to oversee and integrate the operations of Poynette Ironworks and the newly formed Ironworks Truck & Equipment. This strategic move aimed to enhance operational efficiency and foster innovation across the group.
Ironworks Truck & Equipment was launched, focusing on providing purpose-built trucks and equipment tailored to meet diverse client needs. Their product offerings include mechanic trucks, hooklift trucks, various truck bodies, utility trailers, custom truck solutions, and a range of truck accessories. The company emphasizes reliability and durability, delivering high-quality products backed by exceptional service and expertise.
Iron Crest acquired Baker’s Waste Equipment to expand its portfolio of purpose-built industrial solutions, strengthening its offerings in commercial compactors and waste containers. The acquisition reinforces a shared focus on durable equipment, reliable performance, and expert service tailored to customer needs.
Iron Crest Co., along with its subsidiaries, continues to uphold its core values of quality, innovation, trust, and excellence. They strive to deliver superior products and services while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
