Wisconsin Bench Unveils Biggest Change to Its Identity in Company History


Thorp, WI, July 1, 2011 - Wisconsin Bench unveiled a new corporate identity to better represent its growth and ever-expanding solutions for the industrial, educational, office and health markets. Wisconsin Bench often synonymous with supplying quality bench tops and flat panels for most of largest industrial and material handling dealers will now be going to market as WB Manufacturing.

"The new WB Manufacturing corporate brand builds upon the strength of our historical products, but since we also added our casegoods, lockers and educational product lines and acquired the National School Lines brand, we knew it was time to communicate a stronger message to our dealers and ultimately to our end-users," said Steve Burgess.
