Ron DeBoer launched his cattle hauling business in 1967 with a commitment to providing reliable service and on-time delivery to Wisconsin destinations.
Today, the family owned business employs more than 550 staff members in 40 states, has a fleet of 550 tractors and 1,200 trailers, and services customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
As deBoer Transportation, Inc. expanded, the business service team at WoodTrust
Bank provided ways for the company to keep on truckin’ while getting the most mileage for its money. We provided the financing for deBoer’s headquarters building and help the company improve their cash flow and workplace efficiency with our Lockbox Services.
deBoer uses our Internet-based Positive Pay and Account Reconciliation systems as well as our Cash Management Services – all designed to help a company monitor and manage their money more efficiently.
Our ACH Origination System is used for accounts payable and to ensure that company employees across the country have access to their payroll. When they travel, company officials carry a Corporate Credit Card from
WoodTrust Bank.
Just as deBoer believes in going the extra mile for its customers, the business banking team at
WoodTrust Bank works with our customers to always deliver solutions, not excuses to our customers.
Cheese consumption keeps increasing and part of the reason is convenience-food packaging. Kickapoo Valley Cheese Corporation takes the work out of slicing cheese for the consumer.
According to Jim Leytus, owner of Kickapoo Valley Cheese, “People want convenience. They want to be able to open a package and take a slice now versus spending time slicing.”
Jim’s marketing theories were proven correct when Kickapoo Valley Cheese was chosen for the last two years as one of the “100 Best Suppliers” for Sysco, an $18 billion food-distribution company.
The facility started in the heart of downtown Sherry, WI in 1906. The plant underwent many renovations before it became the impressive packaging operation it is today, employing over 100. Keeping in step with modern technology, customer specifications, and cost-efficiency brought Kickapoo Valley Cheese to
WoodTrust Bank when they needed to add more equipment. About $1 million of European and American-engineered slicing and packaging equipment was added to the plant. This sophisticated addition enables Kickapoo Cheese to offer zippered, resealable packaging and exact weight packaging. It allows the customer to choose the exact weight and size of the package needed for their restaurant or grocery store.
WoodTrust Bank also provides cash management services including a deposit lockbox which maximizes cash flow by putting Kickapoo’s receivables immediately into the company’s account.
Just as Kickapoo Valley Cheese Corporation knows how to slice through 11 million pounds of cheese per year,
WoodTrust Bank knows how to slice through red tape to provide its customers with the financial services to help your business grow and succeed.
No matter how you slice it — WoodTrust Bank provides Solutions, Not Excuses.
