MICHCO

Michco was incorporated in 1922 servicing primarily school's needs of the time. Using Ford Model "T"s and "A"'s Michco delivered to surrounding school districts selling basic school supplies like pencils, desks, chairs, and eventually cleaning supplies as school districts became larger. Our first manufactured product was sweeping compound made specifically at the request of a school district we were servicing at the time. As Michco grew, emphasis was placed on expanding into industrial markets and other commercial facilities. Michco's first real commercial building (shown in photo with Ford vehicles) was located on Grand Ave downtown Lansing, MI. This building was torn down for expansion of the Lansing Community College. We moved into 400 E. Michigan Ave during the 1950's. Most all of the products Michco sold at this time were manufactured in the lower warehouse on 400 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing Michigan (Two of these products are pictured at right). This location no longer exists; it..
