WHO WE ARE
Delivering 60 years of innovative service
In 1959, W.B. Mill and Leonard Lynch started Acme Dock Specialists, providing rail dock enclosures for the meat packing industry. A few years later, the company evolved to meet the truck loading needs of customers. As one of one of the first to promote permanent truck dock levelers and dock seals, Acme Dock Specialists helped to establish the benchmarks of loading dock safety and productivity.
In the 1970s, the industry recognized the necessity of securing trailers to the loading dock to prevent injury and loss. In 1978, Acme Dock Specialists became an authorized Rite-Hite supplier, giving customers easy access to Rite-Hiteās new Dok-Lok vehicle restraint. Customer demand for the restraints helped fuel Acme Dock Specialistsā growth over the next decade.
In the 1980s, high-speed fabric doors began to replace slower conventional doors. Again, Acme Dock Specialists invested time and resources in product and maintenance training to offer customers the exciting, new technology.
In the 1990s, Acme Dock Specialists expanded twice, opening offices in Springfield, Missouri and Wichita, Kansas to serve customers in central and western Kansas. With its ongoing success, Acme Dock Specialists expanded again a decade later, adding an office in Omaha, Nebraska.
Every day we look forward to serving our customers, and being the best we can every step of the way. If you havenāt already, we hope youāll give us a try.
