The original Rack Man.
His name was John Spang, a graphic artist turned founder of Rack Men Equipment Company in 1988 at the age of 28.
Today marks 38 years of business operating under one name — incorporated in 1995, the same rackmen.com website since 2001, and trademarked in 2009.
What started with a stack of business cards in his pocket and a rented truck manifested into the American dream. For the next 34 years, he dedicated his life to serving our customers’ warehouse equipment needs nationally and internationally.
We are thankful for John’s vision, leadership, and relentless work ethic. It is an honor to carry on his legacy.
RIP John Spang
1960–2022
You made the world a better place.
