Founded in 2003 by Paul Stern, Liftnow has become the industry standard for quality and service in the Northeastern United States. In 2018, Liftnow began its strategic expansion into the Public Sector, where it is now the fastest growing vendor 4 years in a row. In 2022, Liftnow did business in nearly all 50 states across a variety of contracts, namely Sourcewell.
Liftnow is a family-owned company by the Stern Family, whose experience in steel products distribution dates back through the 1910s, where they were the pre-eminent metal wholesalers in Eastern Europe. Liftnow is a privately-held corporation and can proudly state that it has no shareholders or parent companies, and does not think by quarter – Liftnow thinks by year and by decade. This ownership structure and history allows Liftnow to serve its clients first.
