Paget History

Metal Fabrication Shop

The business known as Paget Equipment Co. (Metal Fabrication Shop) was first known as Besler Steel Corporation and was formed in 1972. The primary function was to buy, refurbish, sell and reinstall equipment in dairy plants.

In 1976, Ronald and Donald Paget purchased the metal fabrication shop, relocated to Marshfield, WI and re-named it “Paget Equipment Co.” At this time, Paget began servicing other industries.

The current owner and president, Jim Reigel joined Paget in 1977 and purchased the metal fabrication shop in August of 1985 along with his two brothers.

In 2002 Jim became the sole owner of Paget by purchasing the shares from his brothers.

Paget Equipment boasts over 45,000 square feet of warehouse, office and manufacturing space. We continue to expand and in 2000 underwent our first major expansion, a 15,000 square foot state-of-the-art fabrication shop. In addition to the manufacturing expansion, a new 2 story office facility was built. In 2003, an additional 6,500 square feet was added to the manufacturing area. To this day, we continue to grow and recently completed renovations to the second floor of the office building adding valuable space for new employees.
