Graebel Companies, Inc. in the USA is celebrating 75 years in business this year, honouring its rich heritage while looking ahead with confidence and ambition.
The company said that the theme of the anniversary, ‘Ascend Beyond’, reflects Graebel’s people-first leadership in global relocation management and its commitment to reaching new heights in service, innovation and client value. It also signals the company’s strategic evolution through enhanced global mobility offerings, new technology and expanded HR.
Founded in 1950 by David Graebel in Wausau, Wisconsin, the company began as a single-truck moving and storage business. Over the decades, it has transformed into a global leader in talent mobility, shifting from moving furniture to relocating people and families as part of HR and workforce strategies for some of the world’s most recognised brands.
“It’s humbling to think that one man driving a truck could build a global organisation that serves clients in 165 countries,” said CEO Ron Dunlap. “As we celebrate our roots and the legacy of the Graebel family, we’re also setting the stage for the future, by expanding into HR services beyond talent mobility, so we can continue delivering exceptional service and value for our clients today and well into the future.”
Graebel will mark its 75th anniversary with employee-focused celebrations around the world, offering a moment to reflect on the company’s journey and energise teams for what’s ahead.
“I firmly believe this is the most exciting time in Graebel’s 75-year history,” said Board Chair Bill Graebel. “Time and again, we’ve reinvented ourselves, often taking bold risks to better serve our clients. That spirit of courage, collaboration and innovation has brought us here. Now, we’re building on that legacy and our enduring values to shape the future of global mobility with the new capabilities our clients are demanding. We can’t wait to share what’s coming next. That’s the real meaning of ‘Ascend Beyond’.”
