The Buckingham name is well known to linemen and arborists throughout North America and internationally as a company they rely on to do their jobs efficiently and safely.
Buckingham’s roots were established in 1896 when Wilmont Stephens, owner of a Binghamton blacksmith shop, began producing pole climbers. In 1913, W. H. Buckingham purchased the firm and changed the name from the Stephens Company to what is now known as Buckingham Manufacturing Co., Inc. Today, the company is known as Buckingham Group following the addition of two distribution companies and a training company.
H. Andrew Batty Jr. and a new management team took ownership in 1984. Today, he and James Pennefeather continue to guide the company as they expand and improve the original product line; introduce new product lines; expand their sales and distribution system domestically and internationally; and introduce new manufacturing technology and reorganized production.
Buckingham is a medium-sized company with the expertise and agility to develop and deliver quality products based on customer requirements, lead times, engineering changes and schedule changes. Their diverse work force contributes to the breadth and depth of their knowledge and experience and senior management continues its commitment to quality improvements.
Today, Buckingham is ISO 17025-2005 Accredited, ISO 9001:2008 Certified and is a CSA Group Qualified Testing Facility. Buckingham is primarily responsible for the design and manufacture of climbing and work positioning equipment, fall protection gear, and accessories specifically designed for the electric, telecommunications, cable and professional arborist markets. The company follows all applicable standards including OSHA, ANSI, ASTM, CSA and CE requirements pertaining to their product line.
Mr. Batty explained that Buckingham’s on-going success is dependent on its loyal customer base and the continued addition of new and satisfied customers. "Outstanding customer service is the backbone of a successful company and our customers appreciate the knowledge, experience and flexibility of our staff." In sharp contrast to the national norm, Buckingham’s customer service staff has long tenure at Buckingham. "Our service representatives know the products, interface with our shop managers and frequently work directly with manufacturing to satisfy customer requirements."
