Founder Marvin L. Johnson was a pioneer in the loading dock industry, bringing the very first rail boards and dock levelers to the market.

Founded in 1959 by Marvin L Johnson, the family-owned company has grown alongside the Rite-Hite business through the years. “The Johnson culture and values align perfectly with ours,” said Micaela Bomhack, President and CEO of Rite-Hite. “With a focus on the customer, a deep belief in the Rite-Hite products and solutions, and an unwavering commitment to safety, innovation, and integrity, this is a great match for both companies.”

Customers of Johnson Equipment will continue receiving the same trusted service and support from the Johnson Equipment team they know today. “We plan to take a thoughtful approach to integrating our businesses so we can capitalize on the best of both organizations,” said Dan Anderson, President of Global Distribution at Rite-Hite.

The Johnson Equipment Company sales and service offices become part of a growing Rite-Hite network of company-owned distribution locations serving customers in the USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
