Milwaukee-based display fixture maker liquidating assets

MILWAUKEE — RCS Innovations, a fully integrated custom display fixtures and digital solutions company, is reportedly closing its doors and liquidating all of its assets. 

According to MachineryMax, an online industrial equipment auctioneer, the company underwent a complete shop closure, and the auctioneer is liquidating more than 500 lots of equipment from the plant, including late-model Biesse and other manufacturers.

RCS Innovations in Milwaukee was founded in 1979, and it specialized in commercial and retail environments, offering services like design, engineering, and installation of commercial furniture and fixtures. The company had two main divisions, RCS Retail Solutions and RCS Commercial Interiors, and worked with a range of clients from local businesses to larger corporations like Harley-Davidson. 

A Biesse Rover A is up for auction.

According to its website, RCS utilized state-of-the-art equipment to meet strict product specifications on a wide range of materials. It reportedly streamlined manufacturing processes to eliminate errors and waste, control costs and meet deadlines. Its integrated engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, assembly, packaging, quality control, warehousing, and logistics systems was designed to "ensure superior fit, finish and function on time every time."

Few details about the suspect company's closing were available. Woodworking Network will update this story as they become available.
