Case manufactures its 250,000th skid steer

WICHITA, Kan. - Case celebrated production of its 250,000th skid steer loader on June 17. Case has been among the world’s leading skid steer manufacturers since launching its skid steer line in 1969.

In a ceremony at its global skid steer manufacturing facility in Wichita, Kan., Case presented the 250,000th skid steer to its new owner, Dino Folino of A. Folino Construction, a paving contractor from Oakmont, Penn. The new Case 430 skid steer is Folino’s fourth in a fleet of equipment that includes nine Case machines.

Case began producing skid steers in 1969 with the 1530 Uni-Loader model, and has been innovating ever since with Case-exclusive features like ride control and side lighting. Last year, Case marked its 40th anniversary of manufacturing skid steers with Case Rockin’ Block Parties at Case dealerships across North America.

“In 2000, we manufactured our 100,000th skid steer. Then, just 10 years later, we more than doubled our sales,” said Curtis Goettel, skid steer marketing manager
