Knaack Celebrates 50 Years by Planning Big Giveaways

Knaack is known as one of the most trusted names in jobsite security, manufacturing stoarge chests, lockable toolboxes and even piano boxes for big shakers and movers. This year the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a year-long roster of events involving end-users, distributors, employees and its great jobsite security products.

“We would like to thank all the folks who made the first 50 years of Knaack possible,” said Chad Severson, president. “Our gratitude begins with the folks who use our products for a living, to trusted channel partners, and to both current and prior employees of Knaack. Finally, we’d like to recognize our suppliers, for without their help along the way, we wouldn’t be observing this wonderful milestone.”

Knaack will officially kick-off its 50th anniversary at its Crystal Lake headquarters with a May 6 Press Day, followed by an employee celebration May 8. Founded in 1960 to supply jobsite boxes to a construction supply house, Knaack began in a modest 2,000 sq-ft facility in Crystal Lake. It has since expanded its headquarters location to more than 400,000 square-feet with 285 employees.

Knaack is expressing its thanks to those behind its 50 years of success in several ways:
For end users, the celebration kicks off with the company’s “Nifty Fifty Jobsite Storage Giveaway,” which is an ongoing, online sweepstakes and product giveaway, as well as the unveiling of a special edition anniversary jobsite chest, the Limited Edition Knaack Model 50 Jobsite Storage Chest. 

“As a company, our focus has always been on providing our customers with high-quality products that are secure, durable and convenient to use,” Severson added. “We’ve been successfully doing this for the last 50 years and we’ll remain consistent with these values as we move forward into the future.”

The “Nifty Fifty Jobsite Storage Giveaway” is a sweepstakes for qualified end-users who register online at www.KnaackFifty.com. Every 50 days, Knaack will randomly select a winner who will receive a KNAACK Limited Edition Anniversary Model 50 Jobsite Storage Chest. Also, for those end users who upload a qualified Knaack jobsite photo, they will receive a Limited Edition KNAACK 50th Anniversary cap.
