As Wilkinson celebrates 75 years in business, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has truly powered our success over the decades.
While boilers and mechanical systems are at the core of what we do, it’s our people—past and present—who have built, sustained, and strengthened Wilkinson every step of the way.
Behind every successful project, service call, and long-standing customer relationship is a team that takes pride in their work, supports one another, and shows up every day ready to deliver. From the field to the office to leadership, it’s a shared commitment to craftsmanship, teamwork, and connection that has defined Wilkinson for 75 years—and will continue to shape its future.
Pride in the Work
For our technicians, the job is about more than just keeping systems running—it’s about solving problems, helping customers, and taking ownership of every job.
“Working for The Wilkinson Companies is one of the best places I have ever worked. I love what I do and who I do it for. This career has let me take care of so many customers and be ‘that guy’ that makes it work or gets the job done. But what I love most is the people I meet and help.”
— Fran Z., Service Technician
A Workplace That Feels Different
One of the things you’ll hear again and again from our team is how different Wilkinson feels compared to other workplaces. As a family-owned company, that difference shows up in meaningful ways every day—and has been a key part of our culture for generations.
“Being part of a family-owned company makes me feel valued, and it’s such a change from my past experiences in the corporate world. The difference is noticeable—in the environment I work in, the connection with other associates , and the feeling that what I do is important.”
— Jennifer A., Assistant Service Manager, Wilkinson Mobile Boilers
Built on Long-Term Commitment
Reaching a 75-year milestone doesn’t happen without people who choose to stay, grow, and build their careers together.
“GTW is committed to maintaining a positive, supportive workplace. The company prioritizes employee satisfaction, appreciation, and long-term retention. I’ve personally been with GTW for almost 15 years, and the time has flown by—something that speaks volumes about what a great place it is to work.”
— Maria M., Purchaser
Growing Together
Whether in the field or managing projects, learning and collaboration have always been part of the Wilkinson way—and continue to drive us forward.
“Working at Wilkinson means being part of a team where I can see the impact of my work day to day. It’s a place where I can keep learning, take on new challenges, and collaborate with different departments.”
— Amanda D., Assistant Project Manager, Plumbing Department
A Culture That Lasts
The relationships built here are just as important as the work itself—and they’re a big reason why Wilkinson has stood the test of time.
“I love that Wilkinson is a family-owned company—family always comes first. After 40 years, I’ve made lifelong friends with many of the associates I’ve worked with, and I truly cherish that.”
— John S., Vice President of Sales
75 Years Powered by People
Milestones like this are about more than years—they’re about the people behind them.
For 75 years, Wilkinson has been powered by individuals who care deeply about their work, their teammates, and the customers they serve. That same spirit continues today in every department, on every job site, and in every relationship we build.
Because while boilers and plumbing may be what we do, it’s our people who make it possible—and who will carry Wilkinson forward for the next 75 years.
