HISTORICAL NOTE
Garelick Manufacturing Company began in 1952 in Saint Paul when brothers Saul and Joe Garelick designed and built a practical marine boarding ladder for recreational boats. In 1956 the firm moved to St. Paul Park, Minnesota, and expanded production to include a full line of marine products under the EEz-In brand. The firm also moved into the production of assistive medical and household products. In August 1985 a second production facility opened in Largo, Florida. In 2016 the firm was sold to Brunswick Corporation.
