About Us
Since 1929, the W.M. Sprinkman name has been synonymous with exceptionally engineered, food and beverage processing equipment.
True to founder Walter Mendenhall Sprinkman’s vision, we’re still a family-owned company providing innovative equipment and processes for our customers to manufacture dairy, food, beverage, craft beer and personal care products. To this point, our slogan sums it up quite easily:
W.M. Sprinkman. We Help You Make Your Processing Better.
Helping customers grow and improve their processing systems is at the heart of what we do. We specialize in solving their problems with our team of engineers. We excel at manufacturing these customized pieces of equipment and systems. We are proud of the work our installation and service crews do to get and keep these solutions up and running.
With over 120 employees working at our two facilities in Wisconsin and in the field across the country, we're big enough to handle any job you have while still small enough to care about getting it done right – according to your specs, on time and within your budget.
