What EZ STAK does

EZ STAK is a North American manufacturer of modular interior storage systems and mobile workspace solutions for work trucks, service bodies, vans, and trailers. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, the company operates a 75,000 sq ft vertically integrated aluminum manufacturing and trailer upfitting facility in Watertown, New York, plus a sales office in Schaumburg, Illinois. Its product portfolio spans pickup truck drawers (MAX series, Truck Box TBU), service body drawer systems, van interiors (including the EZ Folding Shelf), enclosed utility trailers (12'-53'), and specialty units such as the Charlie Station medical-grade COVID-19 response unit. Products are built around 0.100 gauge North American aluminum with in-house powder coating and SOLIDWORKS-based 3D design, sold with a limited lifetime warranty and an average 12-year product life. The 3D Build Your Own Application enables customer self-configuration and serves as both a sales tool and marketing asset.

The company operates a primarily direct, consultative enterprise sales motion targeting utility, construction, municipal, oil & gas, defense/military, and public-safety fleets, complemented by a Dealer Portal and Sourcewell cooperative contracts for broader distribution. Revenue derives from hardware sales of configurable drawer and cabinet systems, turnkey trailer upfitting as a professional service, and specialty vehicle solutions co-developed with partners. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure; the company also offers a 48-hour quickship program for in-stock products and the Trailer Stock Program for pre-configured turnkey trailers. EZ STAK INC. operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries EZ STAK LLC and OPS Public Safety, with the Lawrenson family in senior leadership (Mike Lawrenson as President and CEO, Paul and Shane Lawrenson in sales leadership), and no institutional or PE/VC backing has been disclosed.
