Solid Foundation
The foundation of Rico Manufacturing, Inc. is deeply rooted in its Executive Management and
President - Dave Mueller. Their professional skills in design, manufacturing, and business management
have proven to be a successful formula.
RICO Manufacturing has proven that you can successfully grow a US manufacturing company from scratch
and turn it into a highly profitable multimillion dollar business in just a few years. This experience includes
building a manufacturing company to be one of the leading producers of specially engineered lift trucks in the United States.
Using a Proven Model
Rico Manufacturing, is using the same proven business model. Rico is proud to be one of the few companies to be
totally self sufficient in the design, fabrication and assembly of its products. This included everything from
engineering, steel plate burning, CNC machining, welding, paint and final assembly. This philosophy eliminates
dependency on outside sources since 95% of all work is performed in house and under their control.
Advanced Product Design
To remain on the leading edge of company efficiency and performance, Rico relies exclusively on sophisticated 3D
modeling software for all designs. This allows our team of engineers to explore all design options before choosing
the final approach.
Manufacturing
Rico manufacturing is more than just an engineering company. The over 150,000 sq/ft multi-building facility located in Medina, Ohio employs
flexible manufacturing and assembly to produce Rico products for customers in the automotive, military, paper, steel, and manufacturing arenas.
