I’m always amazed by history’s great inventors—the people who, through inspired curiosity and dogged determination, shaped the way we live and interact with our world. Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, George Washington Carver—it’s an amazingly long list.

I will never make that list. My grandfather, who founded our company, won’t either. But I like to think we share one common trait with history’s luminaries. When facing a problem, we tend to ask “Why?” “Why does it have to be this way?” Why can’t someone make it better, easier, more durable or reliable?”

We’ve built our business on asking “Why?”

Everything Stromberg produces—bunk ladders, electric tongue jacks, hand rails, etc.—are designed to solve a problem. All are the result of addressing challenges our customers have faced, at one time or another. Like needing extra support when ascending a ladder. Or eliminating the hassle of hand cranking a jack. Heck, we even came up with a way to adjust grill height when cooking over a campfire. Maybe that’s why many of our products have become “must haves” for campers and outdoor enthusiasts across the country.

So yes, it’s true…our products aren’t going to save the world. But they will save you a little time and energy. And in the grand scheme of things, isn’t that enough?

Happy Camping,

Bob
