Description

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Valley Craft has been manufacturing professional-grade material handling and storage equipment in Lake City, Minnesota since 1953, beginning with our introduction of the first hand truck with a brake. Today, we produce one of the most complete lines of industrial steel cabinets in the world, along with the carts, hand trucks, dump systems, lifts, and drum handling equipment relied on by manufacturers, distributors, and job sites world wide. As part of the Ballymore Safety Products family, serving as their Midwest headquarters, we combine the resources of a national organization with the standards and culture of a company that has built its reputation one product at a time.

We offer steady, year-round work, a clean and well-organized production floor, and a genuine commitment to safety. Team members here develop skills that last a career — and put their name on equipment recognized for its quality wherever it’s used.

If you take pride in precision work and want to build a long-term career with an established American manufacturer, apply today.
