Bilt Industries, Inc. arrived on the scene in late 2004 when it purchased the Klip-BILT II® and Quick-BILT® shelving lines from the Frick-Gallagher Manufacturing Company. Designed at inception to be the leanest viable business in the shelving industry, Bilt's structure allows for rapid adjustments so as to insulate its customers from market forces. The only way to fully achieve this objective, however, was to invest capital in technology that would drive down costs, yet elevate product standards. And that's just what Bilt did.
Galvanized by a stalwart business model, Bilt immediately began carving out a place for itself. It has since proven more than capable of preserving the high quality specification that Frick-Gallagher first offered over 70 years ago. The fledgling company proved so successful, in fact, that by 2007 it had already introduced a new line of box shelves. An impressive rate of growth continued to afford Bilt opportunities to diversify. As the decade drew to a close, this manifested in the launch of both an HD modular drawer line and mezzanine construction services.
Today, Bilt Industries has two state-of-the-art roll formers, modernized tooling, and a painting process, known as powder coating, that mitigates its environmental impact. With a new 40,000 sq ft. corporate office/distribution center in the greater Kansas City area, there really isn't anywhere to go but up.
Anyway, hopefully you now have a better idea about who we are and where we've been. Be sure to keep checking back for posts discussing our product lines, trade show plans, and lord knows what else. We'll try to make it as entertaining as possible moving forward!
