It All Started In A Garage
Humble Beginnings
In the summer of 1991, Pro-Tech’s founder Mike Weagley began a small welding and fabrication business out of his parent’s garage in Rochester, NY. In time, that very same company would become the creator of the Sno Pusher and ultimately, North America’s largest containment snow plow manufacturer. That legacy continues today with our commitment to innovate and build the most durable, long lasting snow plows that do the job right. It’s no coincidence that many of our plows are still being used twenty years after they’re made. At Pro-Tech, we live and breathe winter all year round; creating new products, building inventory, and delivering on our promise to provide you with the best the industry has to offer.
Our Mission
“The products and services we provide will bring value, pride and satisfaction to our customers and employees by being better than the rest, more than they expected, and exactly what they needed. This purpose improves the quality of life of our employees, customers, industry, markets, and community.”
