In 2019, we worked collaboratively with Rock Machinery, LLC to secure financing to re-locate their facility from Saukville to Allenton, WI. Ready for more growth, Rock Machinery sought EDWC’s assistance to fund construction of a 10,000 sq. ft. “cold storage” warehouse on the site of Rock Machinery’s Allenton headquarters.
This building will create space to house Rock Machinery’s large, heavy equipment and replacement parts inventory in a protected environment away from the elements. The increase in inventory of larger, finished parts for heavy equipment awaiting sale and/or installation will give Rock Machinery an edge in the service industry by reducing their response times. Rock Machinery plans to expand its lines with several manufacturers over the next 2-3 years and needs the additional storage space to accelerate their growth.
We were thrilled to work with Rock Machinery again to accelerate their growth plans and recently closed the deal so they could break ground on the new building. This win for the community was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Washington County, Allenton, Commerce State Bank, Rock Machinery, and EDWC.

The apprenticeship program launch is planned for Q3 2022.
Washington County Revolving Loan Fund
Accessing funds through the Washington County Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) was key to getting the Rock Machinery deal across the finish line. EDWC’s Sherry Saiki facilitated Rock Machinery’s application process and made the case to the RLF committee to ensure Rock Machinery’s growth plans could move forward as planned.
