HANDY INDUSTRIES

Handy was originally Western Manufacturing, founded in Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1964. When the economic conditions required a closure of the business in 2010, Joel Jansen and a business acquaintance, Thomas Deimerly, saw an opportunity to turn a business, that was once a customer of both of them, around, in turn carrying on a tradition of manufacturing American-made products that are built to last a lifetime.
