Founded in 1998, Bulmann Dock & Lift was started by Steve and Becky Bulmann. The company originally sold, installed, and repaired lakefront products for customers in Northwestern Michigan. He found that his customers wanted a higher quality, premium product to match their lakefront living experience. Steve set out to make those products himself.
In 2001, Bulmann Dock & Lift moved from Steve & Becky’s personal property to a commercial manufacturing facility in Boyne Falls, Michigan. Here, our design capabilities were established with our first dock and boat lift designs. The other pivotal factor that rooted in Boyne Falls was the baseline of our culture.
In October of 2013, the company purchased a facility in Boyne City, that could house the vision for Bulmann Dock & Lift. By providing superior lakefront solutions, creating a culture of employees who care, and by continuously improving, the company was able to expand this facility in 2019 and again in 2022.
