Cotterman Co.

Croswell Michigan US 48422

About Seller: Cotterman Company was established in 1925 as I.D. Cotterman Company, with its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Initially focusing on rolling wood track ladders, the company expanded its product line in the mid-1940s to include the rolling steel warehouse ladder, specifically designed for industrial and commercial environments. Over time, rolling ladders became the company's primary offering, solidifying Cotterman's reputation as a top-quality manufacturer in the industry. In 1979, the Cotterman family sold the company to Material Control, Inc., a manufacturer of heavy-duty electronic control equipment for the mining and bulk material handling industry, and relocated it to Croswell, Michigan. Under new leadership by President Clint Stimpson, Cotterman Company implemented a customer-focused strategy aimed at reducing freight costs and minimizing damage. This led to the establishment of manufacturing plants in Bakersfield, California in 1988 and Atlanta, Georgia in 1989, resulting in significant growth for the company. With multiple manufacturing locations, Cotterman continues to deliver high-quality ladders at competitive prices, maintaining its position as an industry leader in the industrial, commercial, national store, and MRO markets. Through a commitment to quality construction, innovative product development, and strategic expansion, Cotterman Company has established itself as the premier manufacturer of rolling metal ladders.
