Two friends started talking about the dilemma of the boat dock in the harbor owned by one of them. Jack Neitzke's boat dock needed replacement and Cliff Vierus was adding ideas on how to get it done. Jack and Cliff came up with the idea of a floating boat dock. What started out as a discussion between friends became EZ Dock, Inc.
Cliff produced the mold for the first dock in his garage. From this very humble beginning, EZ Dock has grown to a major supplier of floating dock and lift systems for recreational and commercial use. In 1990 the first dock was rotomolded by Winnebago Industries using Cliff's mold.
Winnebago continued to rotomold the dock sections until 1999 when PlayPower, Inc. purchased the company. Production and offices were moved to their Miracle Recreation facilities in Monett, MO.
PlayPower is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial play and recreation equipment and accessories.
PlayPower, Inc. is a holding company comprised of five wholly-owned subsidiaries which include:
The EZ Dock product line has expanded through the years to include four sizes of dock
sections, personal watercraft lifts, boat lifts, as well as numerous anchoring,
accessory, access, and railing choices.
