About

W.E. Carlson Corporation opened its doors in 1973 as Northern Illinois’ and Northwest Indiana’s exclusive distributor for Rite-Hite® Corporation – the industry leader in loading dock and industrial door innovation, safety and quality. From day one, we recognized the importance of servicing what we sell, so we began building our fleet of company-owned service vehicles and getting extensive factory training for our technicians.
