History

Launch of the USS Robalo (SS-273) at Manitowoc

Manitowoc Company, Inc. was founded by Charles West and Elias Gunnell in the lakeshore community of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1902. It was known as a shipbuilding and ship-repair company under the name Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company. Since that time, the company has grown and diversified, entering the lattice-boom crane business in the mid-1920s and branching into commercial refrigeration equipment shortly after World War II. During World War II, the Department of the Navy contracted Manitowoc to build a total of 28 submarines, plus the canceled USS Chicolar (SS-464).[4] Before they built the submarines for the Department of the Navy, the company built car ferries. In November 2002, the company acquired the Grove Crane company for approximately $271 million.

On March 4, 2016 The Manitowoc Company completed a one for one common share split and created Manitowoc Foodservices. As of March 7, 2016 the newly created company began standard stock offerings on the NYSE under the symbol "MFS"[7]

The newly formed company is under the leadership of former Manitowoc Company executive Hubertus M. Muehlhaeuser, who currently has eight direct reports are the current executives.[8] They are supported by a seven-member board of directors which includes Mr. Muehlhaeuser.[9]

Marine division

Manitowoc Marine is a subdivision of the Manitowoc Company, which builds and repairs commercial and military ships at yards in Marinette, Wisconsin, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and Cleveland, Ohio. The Marinette shipyard, Marinette Marine, built the first Freedom class littoral combat ship for the United States Navy, and the United States Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw. In August 2008, Manitowoc Marine Division repaired the SS Badger. The SS Badger is like the car ferries that were built by Manitowoc Company before they built 28 submarines for the defense department during World War II. It also repaired a ferry from New York.
