Material handling equipment distributor Big Lift and its subsidiaries Big Joe Forklifts and EP North America opened a new headquarters in Deforest, WI.

The 120,000-square-foot facility will include new product development, battery testing and storage, operations, warehousing, distribution, autonomous assembly, testing, general office management, HR, sales and marketing and training facilities.

“Wisconsin has been home to Big Joe since 1951, so we are proud to expand our business with our new headquarters in the Madison suburbs while supporting the local community in the process,” Big Lift President Dan Rosskamm said in a Sept. 25 news release. “With multiple technical schools, colleges and universities in the surrounding area, we are also excited to develop our team for future successes through this extraordinary talent pool. Fostering growth of our business and building inspiring, entrepreneurial-spirited leaders in the process is something we take great pride in at Big Lift.”

The company said that its new facility will better serve North American customers by merging Big Joe and EP operations under one roof. The Big Lift Headquarters will employ around 60 people, offering growth opportunities in operations, engineering, sales, accounting, autonomous operations and internships.

Big Lift also has distribution centers in Fort Worth, TX; Downers Grove, IL; Inman, SC; and Wisconsin Dells, WI.
