Company Wrench is an Ohio-based company focusing on the manufacturing, sales, rentals, parts and service of scrap, demolition, and construction equipment. Headquartered in Carroll, Ohio, Company Wrench operates major markets in 12 locations across the US including in Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and New Jersey. Each branch offers Company Wrench’s high standard of customer service with fully staffed service & parts departments. Company Wrench’s large equipment inventory includes Kobelco equipment, Terex Fuchs material handlers, JCB, Stanley & Labounty attachments, and much more. Company Wrench began as a measure of vertical integration by Owner, Brad Hutchinson. He created a truck repair company to service his main construction company. The name Company Wrench came to Hutchinson from a conversation w/ a stranded truck operator where he told the client that he would send over his “company wrench” which refers to an on-staff mechanic. “That’s really where the company was born,” Hutchinson said. “We started out doing heavy truck repairs and small equipment repair.” In 2001, Company Wrench shifted its focus from commercial truck repair to heavy equipment. By 2013, the business was solely focused on the rental, creation, and sale of specialized heavy equipment & general construction equipment. In 2010, Company Wrench established C.W. Machine Worx, their manufacturing division. CW is a big supporter of United Way, and created a program called Recycle Cycles to repair used bicycles & distribute them to the homeless & others through United Way. CW also hosts a yearly community event called Operator for a Day where anyone in the community could try their hand at operating heavy equipment. “We hosted about 1,500 people in two days. Seeing a 3-year-old run a bulldozer was a hoot, the same with senior citizens. Many had never been on a machine before and they were having a ball,” Hutchinson said.
