About The Company

Valley Craft Industries designs, develops and manufactures professional grade material handling, drum handling, and storage solutions, including a broad array of proprietary and custom products. Valley Craft was established in 1953 when Carl Weinmann introduced the first hand truck with a brake. Over the last six decades, Valley Craft has grown to become a world class manufacturer known for its expertise in producing rugged and versatile hand trucks, carts, trailers, portable lifts, hydraulic drum handling devices, and storage equipment. At Valley Craft, we take pride in our heritage of building high quality American-made products to handle and store materials more safely, more securely, and more efficiently. On the shores of beautiful Lake Pepin, in Lake City, Minnesota, Valley Craft is staffed by a committed and loyal team of employees -- fully one-third of our associates have been with the company for more than 25 years. We think, feel, and act like a family and, like a family, we share core values: Respect, Integrity, Openness, Enthusiasm, and Commitment. A family company since its inception more than 60 years ago, Valley Craft is currently led by its third private owner - Minnesota businessman Dennis Campbell, who acquired substantially all of the assets of Valley Craft Inc. from Liberty Diversified International in 2012.
