Founded in Michigan’s timber-rich forests, the Wickes brothers initially operated a local timber business.

They also established Genesee Iron Works, a foundry providing repairs and casting for logging equipment. Their innovative Wickes gang saw, a steam-powered saw capable of cutting multiple logs simultaneously, revolutionized lumber processing, earning a global reputation.

The brothers expanded into equipment repair and resale, including machinery, and identified industrial boilers as a frequently traded item. This led to the creation of Wickes Boiler Company and Wickes Bros. Foundry. In 1891, they launched The U.S. Graphite Company, which supplied most of the world's pencil lead at its peak.

With the timber boom, Wickes opened retail outlets stocking comprehensive building supplies, facilitating quick, low-cost purchases for builders.

In 1971, Wickes Companies, Inc. expanded into Europe, diversifying into retail furniture, consumer credit, modular housing, and commercial construction sectors.
