HISTORY

1891
Elijah Nutting Founded Nutting Carts & Trailers

Elijah Nutting founded his company in 1891 after designing a tilt-style platform truck to fulfill the material handling needs of a fellow Minnesota businessman. Over 125 years later, Nutting’s company is still in motion and is a leader in high-quality custom-engineered material handling solutions.

1984
Relocated to Watertown, SD

In 1984, the original Nutting business moved from Minnesota to South Dakota. The operation continues to be housed in Watertown, in the far eastern region of the state.

2006

While Pennsylvania-based Acco is the legal company name of the material handling company, the Nutting name is still used on the material handling products.

The approximately $1 billion purchase of Crosby and Acco by KKR was announced in late 2013. Both companies specialize in the design, manufacture and marketing of accessories used in lifting and rigging.
