Our Story: Born in a two-story grain elevator in 1887, Waddell formed its start with a problem and a simple solution: putting a handle on a coffee grinder to make it easier to hold with two hands. This success helped to shape our passion for problem-solving and turned artisans into innovators. We began creating cash registers, cigar cases, x-ray egg testers, and post office fixtures, eventually mastering our current offering – display cases. A lot has changed over the past century, but our commitment to fine craftsmanship and innovation has pushed us to be leaders in new spaces.
