The Tommy Gate Story.
The Beginning, 1965
Delbert “Bus” Brown founded Woodbine Manufacturing Company in Woodbine, Iowa, building liftgates to ease the work of local farmers.
The Early Days
Brown loaded his own pickup trailer with liftgates and sold them door to door, returning home only once it was empty.
Fusion of Old and New
Tommy Gate’s state-of-the-art Woodbine plant blends modern manufacturing with old-fashioned, family-owned craftsmanship.
Family-Owned Heritage
Six decades on, Tommy Gate remains 100% family-owned and sold worldwide, with a reputation for quality liftgates that MIMICO brings to New Zealand.
