About Us

How Wisconsin Industrial Machine Service Was Founded

Wisconsin Industrial Machine Service, Inc. was started on July 1st, 1973, by Floyd Ploeckelmann along with the help of his wife Shirley. Floyd was an extremely skilled man who understood Machine Rebuild and Repair and after spending many years working in the field, he decided to start his own service company.

Over 50 years later, the company continues to be family-owned. However, his legacy of knowledge has been replaced by an exceptional group of talented individuals who share the same expertise and quality of workmanship.
