Pre-engineered steel self-storage systems manufacturer and erector
Trachte manufactures and installs pre-engineered steel self-storage buildings across North America. The tech stack is design-heavy (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam) paired with legacy ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) and no recent tool migrations — typical of industrial manufacturers still operating on proven systems. Hiring accelerated across engineering, logistics, and manufacturing with a junior-heavy mix, while active pain points center on supply-chain friction (shipping costs, discrepancies, on-time delivery), suggesting operational scaling pressure as volume grows.
Trachte designs, manufactures, and erects custom and pre-engineered steel self-storage buildings. Operating from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, the company serves real-estate developers and operators building climate-controlled and standard storage facilities, boat/RV storage, and related infrastructure. As a 120-year-old, employee-owned business with 201–500 employees, Trachte combines in-house manufacturing with field erection services, backed by engineering customization and industry guidance. The product line spans structural systems, door and hallway assemblies, and smart-lock technology (Passport Smart Lock).
Trachte relies on AutoCAD, Revit, and Bluebeam for design and field documentation, paired with Microsoft Office, Monday.com for project management, and Dynamics 365 Business Central for ERP.
Trachte is headquartered in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and currently hires only in the United States.
