What Mac Rak Inc does

Mac Rak Inc is a Lockport, Illinois-based subsidiary and brand of Damotech, North America's largest provider of pallet rack repair, protection, inspection, and engineering services for warehouse racking systems. The company addresses the full rack safety lifecycle for facilities operating under OSHA, RMI/ANSI MH16.1, and CSA A344 standards, serving enterprise customers across food and beverage, big-box retail, e-commerce and distribution, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage. Named enterprise customers include Amazon, FedEx, Target, Lowe's, Mercedes-Benz, GM, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Kroger, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Merck, and CVS Pharmacy, with more than 250 Fortune 500 clients reported on the parent's roster.

The core technology portfolio is anchored by the DAMO family of engineered pallet rack repair kits (DAMO PRO, DAMO FLEX, DAMO ADVANTAGE, DAMO BRACE, DAMO HOOK OVER), which restore damaged uprights to original load capacity and carry a lifetime warranty against impact, supported by a less than 0.04% warranty replacement rate. The protection line (DAMO GUARD, BASE GUARD, SHIELD, BOLLARD, FENCE, plus accessory guards) provides impact prevention for rack columns, building columns, and high-traffic areas. Service offerings include licensed-engineer compliance inspections, load capacity calculations, engineer-led safety training, and nationwide installation through certified Orange Pros. The DAMO CARE subscription program, Rack Safety Platform, and Rack Inspection Mobile App add a recurring-revenue, software-enabled safety management layer.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining hardware sales (repair kits and protection products), professional engineering services, and subscription software, with quote-based, multi-year contracts. Distribution runs through the largest authorized dealer network in the United States and Canada supplemented by direct enterprise field sales for coordinated national account rollouts, plus a self-serve inbound funnel driven by free damage assessments, ROI calculators, and educational content.
