Richardson Industries of Sheboygan Falls recently celebrated its 175th year of operation, making it the oldest family-owned business in the state of Wisconsin. Established in 1848, the same year Wisconsin became the 30th state in the union, Richardson has a rich history that dates back to a time when lumbering, mining, and land sales fueled the state’s economy.
During the early years of operation, lumber was a primary building material in Wisconsin, providing homes and businesses with the necessary resources for construction. While agriculture eventually replaced mining and land sales as dominant businesses in the state, Richardson continued to thrive by providing high-quality products and unparalleled service to its customers.
Richardson Industries is recognized as a landmark business in Wisconsin due to its longevity and resilience over the years. During its recent anniversary celebration, Representative Terry Katsma presented a legislative citation and a Wisconsin State Flag as a tribute to Richardson’s excellence. The recognition serves as an affirmation of Richardson’s legacy as an industry leader.
The company has upheld its reputation for excellence throughout its long history, standing the test of time in an ever-changing business landscape. With its focus on quality products and exceptional customer service, Richardson continues to be a leading force in the industry today.
