Facts

• Established in 1950 by entrepreneur Douglas Seaman, Western Products is a manufacturer of snowplows for heavy-duty and standard-duty commercial snow plowing, as well as institutional, extended-use homeowner and municipal snow removal operations
• In 1952, Western Welding introduced its first snowplow. The timing could not have been better. The U.S. population was gravitating toward suburban settings, which had increased the market for light trucks and drove demand for snowplows.
• Suburban areas continued to thrive through the 50s, and the light-truck market continued to grow. Snowplow demand was on the rise, and sales of Western snowplows doubled between 1961 and 1968.
• The 70s also proved lucrative for the snowplow industry. With a product that was perceived as high quality, an aggressive sales force and an attractive pricing policy, Western Products' share of the national market for snowplows mounted on light trucks swelled from 33 percent in 1968 to 40 percent a decade later.
