Two generations of innovation, grit, and customer focus set the stage for a new era of technology-driven solutions
PITTSBURG, Calif., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bishop-Wisecarver, a family-owned leader in industrial automation solutions "expertly designed, delivered to perform," proudly marks its 75th anniversary in 2025. This milestone honors a legacy of innovation, resilience, and enduring customer partnerships that have defined the company since its founding in 1950.
A Legacy Built on Perseverance and Ingenuity
Bishop-Wisecarver began as a custom machine builder and screw machine shop, quickly earning a reputation for solving tough application challenges from venetian blind manufacturing to production lines for Standard Oil and Cardinale Bakery. Over the decades, the company expanded into products for bread and milk transportation, pioneered patented trucker solutions like the Saf-T-Sta telescoping load lock, and invented the DualVee® linear motion track and wheel system now a global standard in industrial automation.
Family-Owned, Customer-Driven
For 75 years, Bishop-Wisecarver has remained family-owned and operated. Founder Bud Wisecarver's pioneering spirit lives on through his daughter, Pamela Kan, who became President in 1999 and sole owner in 2020. This continuity of leadership has ensured the company's values, integrity, and a relentless focus on customer success remain at the core of every decision.
A Year to Thank Our Customers and Look Forward
