About Go Fast Manufacturing
At Go Fast Manufacturing, we design and build dependable industrial machinery for pallet plants, sawmills, and material producers across North America.
Our focus is straightforward — build equipment that helps customers move material efficiently, increase production, and keep their operations running reliably day after day.
The company name comes from the original Go Fast Resaws that first built the brand’s reputation in pallet shops across the country.
In 1993, Ken Bricko designed and introduced the original Go Fast Resaws. With a low-profile design and simple, practical operation, the machines were easy to run, easy to maintain, and well suited for the everyday demands of pallet manufacturers.
They quickly earned a strong reputation for consistent performance and reliability, spreading into pallet shops across the United States and abroad. That early success established the foundation the company continues to build on today.
In 2013, Dan and Dennis Berken purchased Go Fast Manufacturing. Having owned and operated several Go Fast Resaws and DeDusters in their own sawmill, they were already familiar with the equipment and the expectations of the industry.
With years of hands-on experience in pallet and sawmill operations, along with a strong background in business and equipment design, they focused on expanding the product line and strengthening the company’s capabilities. Their goal was simple — design and build machinery that producers can depend on.
Today, Go Fast Manufacturing supports customers across several areas of the wood products and material handling industries.
We design and manufacture pallet cut-stock systems, pallet repair and recycling equipment, sawmill machinery and material handling solutions, firewood processing equipment, and custom automation systems tailored to specific operations.
From standalone machines to complete production lines, every system is engineered with durability, straightforward operation, and long-term performance in mind.
In 2020, Go Fast moved into its current 35,000 square foot facility in New London, Wisconsin. Bringing engineering, machining, welding, electrical assembly, testing, and full system builds together under one roof allows our team to stay closely involved with every project and maintain consistent quality from start to finish.
Keeping manufacturing in-house helps us stay responsive, hands-on, and connected to the work we do.
Go Fast continues to grow alongside the industries we serve. We work directly with plant owners, operators, and production teams to design equipment that fits their workflow and supports reliable, efficient operation.
Our approach remains the same as it has always been — build it right, keep it practical, and stand behind what we make.
