Contact Scheck ABOUT US INDUSTRIES SERVICES FOCUS ON SAFETY WHY SCHECK? NEWS & INSIGHTS History of Scheck It was no surprise when Rich Scheck enrolled in 1962 at Washburn Trade School in the pipefitters apprenticeship program. His father, Alfred Scheck, had been a union pipefitter for 50 years. But even Rich could not have anticipated the success that Scheck Industries would achieve over 30 years. “When I went to work for Rich in 1984; he said his goal was to have a ‘nice, small piping business,’” recalls employee Ron Ward. “The first job I worked on was the remodel of Building No. 6 at Corn Products. You couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. Rich was so organized – he taught me the importance of efficiency.” In May of 1984 Scheck Mechanical Corporation opened their first office with two desks snugly placed on the first floor of Unique Plumbing on 47th Street in Brookfield. Rich and Kathy Dalmer managed the office while 10 people worked in the field. Corn Products was the Company’s first customer. “When we opened the business in 1984, I answered the phone for a plumber and a dentist in addition to Scheck Mechanical to help make ends meet. But our sales the first year totaled $800,000 and we thought we had reached the pinnacle of success!” Kathy said. Even with a move to a much larger office space upstairs, our growing staff of salesman, estimators and project managers soon outgrew the Unique Plumbing building. In 1986 Scheck purchased their first property with an overwhelming 6,000 square feet of shop and office space. “It was the most challenging yet rewarding time of my career to see our small company take off so fast,” said Rich Scheck. “The key ingredient to our success was the loyal, dedicated workforce that started working with me back then; and our workforce is still the key to our success today.” 1984- 1986- 1987- 1996- 1997- 2003- 2004- 2005- 2008- 2009- 2014- 2015- 2016- Navigation Letter from Founder Letter from President Executive Leadership Senior Management Board of Directors Community Involvement History Awards & Recognition Scheck Industries Employee Email Login Employee Portal Login Careers Contact Us Contact Us Scheck Mechanical Corporation One East Oak Hill Drive, Suite 100.
