WHERE IT ALL STARTED
CTW Origins:
1897 - Founded in Kansas City as the “Only Way Transfer & Warehouse Company” featuring a horse, a wagon, and a small brick warehouse.
1948 - Kansas City businessman Robert Winsky founded Consolidated Transfer & Warehouse Co., later shortened to simply “CTW”.
1959 - Winksy acquired the Only Way Transfer & Warehousing Company and later merged it with CTW.
1965 - Winsky acquired land from Burlington Northern Railroad and built a 150,000-square-foot warehouse on Taney Street in North Kansas City, Missouri. This facility serves as CTW’s national headquarters to this day.
2015 - Winsky passes, and his obituary notes that “he will be greatly missed by his family, friends and CTW family who will carry his legacy far into the future.”
2021 - A new ownership group acquires CTW and invests in new people, technology, and resources to build on Bob Winsky's legacy.
