About Kraftwerks

Optimizing space – and enhancing employee and company performance in the process.

Our History

After spending the majority of their lives in the storage and material handling industry, founders, William A. Kraft Sr. and Patricia H. Kraft started Kraftwerks in 1990 along with sons, William A. Kraft Jr., Mike Kraft, Paul Kraft and daughter, Ann Marie Ziske (Kraft). As a family-operated business, they had a vision of putting to use their decades of experience to create value for their customers and build long-lasting relationships.

While the company started off primarily as a distributor and sales organization for storage and materials handling equipment, it has since evolved into a one-stop source for customers across the U.S. in need of:

  • High Density Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
  • Laboratory Casework & Fume Hoods
  • Multi-Story Catwalk & Mezzanine Systems
  • Ergonomic Workstations & Lifts
  • Installation & Preventative Maintenance

Besides enhanced service offerings, the company’s physical space has grown in order to accommodate customer demand. Today, Kraftwerks’ state-of-the art facility boasts in-house fabrication, cutting, welding and painting services, along with a complete installation, prevention and maintenance department.

Featured Product

Lab-Design Specialized Storage Cabinets

Laboratories utilize materials that can be damaging to both humans and the facility. Proper storage of materials like acids, chemicals, corrosives, etc. is imperative. The result of improper storage could lead to facility damage, as well as serious accidents, illness and even death.

While fume hoods and biosafety cabinets create a safe environment for acids, chemicals, etc. while you are working, they are not suitable for storage while you aren’t.

Specialized storage cabinets for flammable, corrosive, and damaging chemicals are available, and they will protect the integrity of those items, as well as employees and the space around them.
