Metal Forms Corp., a manufacturer in the concrete construction industry since 1909, has purchased Sterling Handling Equipment, company which also has more than a century of manufacturing experience, beginning as Sterling Wheelbarrow Co. in 1904.

Sterling manufactures material handling equipment such as wheelbarrows and motor tubs.

“Sterling has an excellent reputation in the industry with durable and reliable products,” said Tom Miller, president of Metal Forms Corp. “This equipment complements our existing product line and will serve as the cornerstone of MFC’s new handling division.”

Sterling Handling is based in Glendale, Wis. MFC plans to move Sterling’s production to its Milwaukee manufacturing facility.
