WINBCO Early History

WINBCO began in 1939 as a division of Winger and Winger Boss Company and began independent operations as WINBCO Tank Company in 1979. Since then, WINBCO has increased its capabilities through developing internal resources and affiliating with major companies in allied fields.

The energy squeeze of the 1970's allowed WINBCO to further its experience and capabilities by engineering and manufacturing to meet alternative fuel mandates. In 1978 WINBCO was responsible for manufacturing the 1st commercial anhydrous alcohol producing plant in the country. Since then WINBCO has been a contributor to practically all viable ethanol plant constructions and expansions.
