The History of M & W SHOPS, INC.
In 1972, Walter T. Haag and Larry Zamba founded M & W Shops, Inc., in Sturtevant, WI doing welding for J.I. Case Foundry on a part-time basis. Business began to grow and M & W Shops Inc. moved to its current location in Union Grove, WI in 1976. At this time, the company employed one full time employee. In 1981, Wally W. Haag became president of M & W Shops, Inc. and the company began to diversify and flourish. Fabrication equipment was purchased and the company began to build structural weldments for building contractors and construction companies, as well as special industrial vacuum cleaning equipment. M & W Shops, Inc. grew into a full time fabricating and welding shop over the next ten years; acquiring Kraftwell Automation, which is now Kraftweld, a division of M & W Shops, Inc. To accommodate company and business growth, a new 28,500 square foot facility was built in 1991, and in 1992, M & W Shops began the journey into the world of industrial vacuums, thus the beginning of Multi-Vac.
President and owner, Wally Haag has worked in the industrial vacuum field since 1974. In the early 1990's, using Mr. Haag's experience in engineering of heavy duty industrial vacuum equipment and metal fabricating, Multi-Vac was formed: a new, maintenance friendly product line of industrial vacuum equipment, loaders, and conveyors. Since that time, Multi-Vac has become a well known and respected name in steel mills, foundries, cement and brick plants, as well as in the mining, plastic, rubber and chemical industries, just to name a few. Our industrial vacuums can be found from the West Coast to the East Coast, as well as Canada, Mexico, South America, and China. In 2008, M & W Shops progressed into the dust collecting business with specialized Multi-Clean dust collectors.
M & W Shops, Inc., as well as divisions Multi-Vac and Kraftweld, has steadily increased in volume and market share by providing exceptional quality, fair pricing and on-time deliveries to world wide industrial customers as well as local companies. Our 28,500 square foot facility includes a modern office and engineering department, and a well-equipped production shop including: CNC shearing, press brakes, punching and burning, a plasma table, a large paint booth, as well as several welding stations, and assembly and test areas. We also have a 10,000 square foot warehouse to keep stock items readily available. Our engineering staff can provide AutoCAD drawings whether it for an industrial vacuum system design, or for a custom metal fabrication. Our service engineers and technicians can provide start up service and training to your maintenance personnel for our vacuum lines as well as installation and on site welding for other jobs.
Today, M & W Shops, Inc. employs anywhere from 12 to 20 full time shop employees and certified welders based on our shop work load, and six full time office employees. Our Multi-Vac equipment can be found all over the world, standard and customized in many sizes and configurations. We take pride in serving our local customers and walk-ins off the street, while maintaining a productive fabrication schedule for our large jobs and international integrity. Our philosophy is to manufacture high quality products at competitive prices with on-time delivery.
