Company history
Oshkosh was founded in Wisconsin on May 1, 1917, by William Besserdich and Bernhard Mosling as Wisconsin Duplex Auto Company, building on their four-wheel-drive designs. It later became Oshkosh Motor Truck Manufacturing Company. In the 1930s the company broadened its products to include truck models and a rubber-tired earthmover; from 1939 it also undertook military-vehicle work.[26]
A series of acquisitions expanded Oshkosh into new vehicle and equipment markets: Pierce Manufacturing in 1996, McNeilus Companies in 1998, Jerr-Dan in 2004, and JLG Industries in 2006.[27][28][29] In January 2023, Oshkosh acquired Hinowa, adding compact tracked equipment, and on August 1, 2023, completed its acquisition of JBT AeroTech’s airport ground-support-equipment business.[30][31][32] In September 2024, it completed the acquisition of Spanish compact industrial-vehicle manufacturer AUSA.[33] [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][26][27][28][29][31][32][33]
