WCS – Wisconsin Contractors Supply
We have been in our new facility since Jan 1, 2017. The remodel and move was done mostly by our own team. Our Store was previously a joint tenant of Dayton/Symons about 4 miles away. The walls were removed along with drop ceilings, floor was ground down, epoxy coating was applied, new shelving, new walls, new doors and a lot of painting. The final store and warehouse was completed by the end of February. We had an open house April 26st to show the place off to our customers. We invited several venders to set up their booths and run specials for that day. There was good food and door prize drawings. There was a fair turnout.
WCS started off approximately 6 years ago when CCS took over the contractor supply part of Symons (Pewaukee) Branch. For the first 6 years CCS and Symons coexisted out of the same facility. Symons did the form rentals and sales while CCS handled all the consumable products while sharing a yard/warehouse and manpower including outside sales. In January of this year CCS broke off and opened their own facility about four miles away, changed its name to WCS (Wisconsin Contractors Supply) and now has its own yard and 18,000 SF warehouse and a great team of people. In April of this year we concentrated on putting in a fleet of Steel ply to support our Form rental goals. WCS was recently awarded a large Alisply job. The job was sold as prebuilt gangs, so with help form a couple guys in Bellwood we built 18 (9’x18’) gangs that will be shipping in July. With the fleet of Steel Ply and Alisply this facility will be able to supply form rental needs around South-Eastern Wisconsin.
