Whiting, the original manufacturer of roll up Doors for the Transportation Industry, began operations in 1953. Since that time, we have concentrated on designing doors that are easy to install, operate and maintain.
In 1953, a customer pulled into the yard of a small garage door manufacturer in Akron, New York. He asked the owner, T.C. Whiting, if he and his sons could fit a garage door onto his truck body.
That simple request began what has amounted to a 100 million dollar roll-up door industry. Today, Whiting Door Manufacturing Corp. is still in Akron, headed by brothers Don and Lauren Whiting.
Since introducing the roll-up door to the trucking and transportation industry, Whiting has grown to have four factory locations across the U.S., as well as licensee affiliates who manufacture under the Whiting nameplate around the globe. In fact, in nearly any corner of the world, it would be difficult to pass the day without spotting a Whiting door.
Building on a Proud Tradition
First and foremost, PENZ is a family company dedicated to continuing the vision, perseverance and expertise of Vladimir (Wally) Penzenik, our company’s founder and the father of Richard and David Penzenik.
Richard (President of the Plastics Division) and David (President of the Steel Division) share with their late father the vision of providing quality products that they’re proud to put the PENZ name on. In 1956, beginning with a small tool and die shop, Wally understood the importance of using quality materials and experienced workers to manufacture products at competitive prices. Since then we’ve been committed to providing “Quality Products for Quality Customers.”
As the company has grown over the years, that principle has guided us, and today PENZ is a world leader in the truck/trailer and container/chassis industry, for both OEM and aftermarket applications.

Richard and David understand the ever-changing marketplace and have surrounded themselves with more than 100 creative associates who continually seek out new markets and new applications that will benefit from their custom services and capabilities – capabilities that may begin with tool and die design and end with value-added assembly services.
