COMPANY HISTORY
WMS was founded in 2007 by current owner and President, Kyle Norris. He started WMS as a local mechanical supply store in Gillette WY, offering products a residential mechanical contractor needs to complete a typical house. This platform started growing and over the course of a few years, allowed WMS to establish valuable relationships with local and regional mechanical contractors, as well as identify a demand in the mechanical market for specific products and applications.
In 2010, WMS partnered with Camfil APC to provide industrial dust collectors in Wyoming and Montana. This was a major step for the store but with proper product training, a background in Mechanical Engineering and a strong work ethic, Kyle and his team were able to start presenting a well designed product - properly applied - to different customers in need of a complete filtration solution. This led to engineering relationships, overall market exposure, and the rest is history. Today, you will find several members of the WMS team working on commercial product applications, some traveling throughout the Rocky Mountain West visiting customers, and some working at the store in Gillette. We have grown to be a lean, productive firm with a high quality team dedicated to serving our region with the best products and services we can offer.
