ABOUT OUR HISTORY

The Feighner Company (TFC) was initially started in 1969 as a small family farm in Nashville, MI. By 1973, the company had grown into a significant farming and custom hay baling operation farming hundreds of acres. In 1982, as the company continued to grow, a second building was constructed to house offices and a retail feed store on the family farm. In 1987, The Feighner Company became incorporated as a Michigan Corporation.

In 1990, Scott’s father wanted to see which manufactured docks were available for purchase for the family cottages in northern Michigan, since the traditional wooden framed dock was failing. Scott located a rolling dock manufacturer that looked interesting and contacted them to purchase a dock. This quickly evolved into TFC selling products for that manufacturer.

Over the next several years, it became very apparent to Scott that there was a huge opportunity to manufacture aluminum docks and lifts to the highest standards available and supply an excellent warranty to the customer. Scott decided that if he was going to stay in the dock and boat lift business, he was going to make his own design modifications and provide impeccable customer service and warranties on all products that had the Feighner name, and the rest is history.

Since then, Feighner has continued to grow into a nationwide manufacturer. In 2006, Feighner Boat Lifts & Docks moved to Charlotte, MI to a much larger facility. This building was expanded upon five times since it’s purchase and continues to be the main manufacturing hub. In 2020, Feighner opened a showroom and manufacturing space in Perry, MI, along the international highway, I-69. Entering into 2022, the facility has tripled in size and encompasses almost an entire acre under roof. In 2021, Feighner opened a distribution center in Gwinn, MI – conveniently located in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Feighner Boat Lifts & Docks builds and markets docks and lifts all year around, not just on a seasonal basis.
