On April, 20, 2016, at the young age of 97 years, Walter Sellick along with sons Howard Sellick – President, David Sellick – Vice President and grandson Colin Sellick – Systems Manager, held a ground breaking ceremony for a new multimillion dollar, 120,000 square feet manufacturing plant.
“In order to compete on a global scale, we needed to expand and build a state-of-the -art plant” said Howard Sellick.
Sellick Equipment has been manufacturing rough terrain and truck mounted forklifts for more than 47 years to a variety of industries including building supply yards and engineered wood products, automotive recycling, oil field services, mining and military applications. In recent years, a new generation of forklifts was introduced featuring enhanced ergonomics, environmentally-friendly diesel engines and increased lift capacities. Sellick products are supported by a nationwide dealer network providing superior parts and service needs.

Sellick Equipment held a ground-breaking ceremony at its 5.2-hectare, or 13-acre, site on Rosenborough Road.
When complete, Sellick will move from its nearby, 80,000 sq. ft. plant to the 120,00 sq. ft. facility.
The new plant is expected to open some time in 2017 and Sellick expects the new space to increase both productivity and opportunity to bring in more workers.
