TOUGH. TIME-TESTED. TRUSTED.

From our roots in the middle of the industrial heartland, Poynette Ironworks has earned its place and reputation as the Midwest’s largest and most reliable manufacturer of large-scale, heavy-duty manufactured steel products. While we specialize in refuse and recycling containers – including signature products such as small box and large box containers for residential, commercial, construction, industrial and other applications – we also manufacture specialty use items such as chipper boxes, dock carts, grease bins and sea crates. Top that off with a full custom shop to build any product you can imagine.

Over the past 25 years, we’ve grown to a 110,000-square foot facility with more than 85 employees. We’ve delivered well over 30,000 truckloads of containers – the equivalent of nearly 400 million pounds of steel. We continually build our team of skilled craftspeople and work every day on the continuous improvement of our operations to be best positioned to meet the needs of an evolving industry and customer base.

Today, still based in the small town of Poynette, Wisconsin where we launched in 1996, we remain as committed as ever to our core values of innovation, trust and excellence in everything we do. Simply put, we’re known as the quality choice because we build a better container.

The Spark That Fuels Our Fire

How did we get here? Well, we sort of have a hard time saying no. Instead, every time we’ve encountered a unique request or creative idea from a customer, we’ve instead said, “how can we make this work?” Having started in the industry by repairing broken containers instilled a tenacity and problem-solving mind-set, and that’s the spark that continually fuels our innovative product development and our ever-expanding services. It’s the catalyst that has helped us grow our offerings, both spec and custom, every year since we started.
