After 115 years of building some of the toughest winches in the business, Bloom Manufacturing is hitting the road, and the trade show floor, for the very first time.

This month, we’ll be exhibiting at the American Towman Exposition in Baltimore, MD (November 20–22) and in 2026 we’ll be at ConExpo-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, NV (March 3–7, 2026). These two industry-leading events are where innovation happens, connections are made, and the future of equipment and automation takes shape.

So why are we showing up now, and what should you expect from Bloom Manufacturing’s booth? Let’s dig in.

A Century in the Making: Why We’re Exhibiting Now

Founded in 1910 in Independence, Iowa, Bloom Manufacturing has quietly built a legacy of high-performance hydraulic winches and speed reducers trusted across marine, utility, construction, and drilling industries. Everything we make is Made in the USA, precision-machined in-house, and backed by a team that believes in doing things the right way.

But here’s the truth: as we’ve grown, there’s one area we’ve recognized as an opportunity: the towing and recovery market. Historically, we haven’t focused on this space. But that’s changing.

We’re now investing in new product development specifically for towing and recovery professionals, and these trade shows are part of that process. We’re stepping out to meet the people who rely on winches every day, hear what’s working (and what’s not), and start conversations that shape our next chapter.

Why ConExpo and American Towman?

These events give us the chance to show up in person, meet our industry face-to-face, and introduce our new capabilities.

ConExpo-CON/AGG 2026 – Las Vegas

Held every three years, ConExpo is the largest construction trade show in North America, with 2,000+ exhibitors and over 139,000 attendees. It’s where contractors, fleet managers, and equipment buyers go to see what’s next in heavy machinery, hauling, lifting, and underground construction.

At ConExpo, we’ll be engaging with professionals across industries, particularly those in transportation and roadside recovery, to better understand what they need from their winch systems.

If you’re in construction, recovery, or heavy-duty operations, we’d love to talk.

American Towman Exposition – Baltimore

American Towman Exposition is the premier trade show for professionals in towing, recovery, and roadside service, held annually at the Baltimore Convention Center. The event showcases cutting-edge equipment—from wreckers and carriers to GPS systems and dispatch software—alongside financing solutions and training opportunities.

Attendees can network with national dispatchers, explore innovative products, and experience iconic exhibits like the Towman Monument and the Lifelines mural.

We’ll be there to showcase:

  • Precision-machined winch components
  • Custom reducers and capstan winches
  • New designs powered by our advanced milling capabilities

Whether you’re looking for a reliable manufacturing partner or exploring low-volume production runs, we’re excited to connect.

What You’ll Find at Our Booth

We’re not coming to these shows to make sales pitches. We’re coming to start conversations.

Here’s what we’ll be ready to talk about:

Towing & Recovery Product Development

We’re exploring what’s next for this market, and we’re looking for feedback. Whether you run a recovery fleet or design heavy-haul rigs, we want to hear from you.

Precision-Machined Components

Thanks to our in-house milling capabilities, we can deliver custom components with:

  • Tighter tolerances
  • Smoother operation
  • Faster production — all from our Iowa facility

It’s ideal for integration into your automation or assembly systems.

Small-Batch Manufacturing

Not every job needs thousands of units. Bloom’s facility is built to handle limited production runs, prototypes, and specialty projects with the same level of care and quality as larger orders.

Repair & Refurbishment Services

Get more life out of your equipment. We’ll walk you through our Repair and Revive Program, where we bring worn winches and reducers back to like-new condition.
