History
Wick Building Systems, Inc. ("Wick") is a privately held Wisconsin company founded in 1954 by Mr. John F. Wick and later incorporated in 1958. 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; factory built panelized housing; modular homes; and HUD Code manufactured homes. 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 are manufactured and 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 pre assembled components on-site. Some buildings are sold as material-only packages.
With the sale of over 60,000 buildings to date, the Buildings Division has steadily grown to become one of the nation’s largest producers of post-frame agricultural structures, 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, Wick has two production facilities for its Wick Buildings products. The original facility located at the Wick Complex in Mazomanie, Wisconsin and a new plant facility opened recently in St. Paris, Ohio.
