[edit] History
Wick Buildings, LLC ("Wick") is a privately held Wisconsin company founded in 1954 by John F. Wick, incorporated in 1958, and re-organized in March 2010. Mr. Wick is a Wisconsin native and graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The Executive Offices for Wick are located twenty-five (25) miles west of Madison, Wisconsin off Highway 14 and on Walter Road in Mazomanie, Wisconsin.
Through continued growth and acquisition, Wick has grown to become a major producer of a variety of shelter products. These shelter products include post-frame agricultural and commercial buildings. All Wick shelter products are sold through a network of independent builders.
With a background in agriculture and advanced schooling in business and engineering, Mr. Wick started the business with the sale and construction of post-frame metal buildings (pole buildings) out of Mazomanie, Wisconsin. In the early days, these buildings were used mainly on farms in the Midwest as replacement for the two-story dairy barn. Wick Buildings consist of a wood-frame structure covered with sheet steel. Clear span trusses (up to 100 feet in width) are fabricated. Siding and roofing are formed and cut from rolled steel at Wick’s production facilities. These components, together with the necessary pre-cut lumber, doors and trim material, are loaded on semi-trailers and delivered to the buyer’s site. In most cases, company personnel erect the preassembled components on-site. Some buildings are sold as material-only packages.
With the sale of over 66,000 buildings to date, Wick Buildings has steadily grown to become one of the nation’s largest producers of post-frame buildings, including sophisticated animal confinement systems, horse housing facilities, on-farm livestock and storage buildings, and professionally engineered commercial and light industrial buildings. Wick's post-frame buildings are marketed and sold under the Wick Buildings trademark. Today, its production facility for its Wick Building products is located at the Wick Complex in Mazomanie, Wisconsin.
