About RIGGUARD
Our Story
Here in Northeast Wisconsin – and many more parts of the United States – animal encounters on the road are a simple fact of life, and even more so for truck drivers and other professions that spend long hours on the road. RIGGUARD was created and branded in 2004 by Kim (Pooch) and Diane Pruchnofski – but the first model was manufactured in their garage in 1999 when they were approached by a local Wisconsin trucking company in search of a Deer Guard to protect their trucks and drivers from damage and injury.
While the first RIGGUARD was basic and rudimentary, it was functional and proved to be added protection for trucks and drivers. The RIGGUARD design has continued to grow and evolve since its inception and has been upgraded in quality, design, materials, and options. Like its design, the RIGGUARD brand has continued to grow and evolve as a product of P&D Metalworks, and is now manufactured in our 32,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Neenah, WI by a dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled team of metal workers. RIGGUARD products are compatible with most truck brands – Freightliner, Hino, International, Mack, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, and Western Star.
RIGGUARD is a family owned and operated business that was established by Pooch and Diane in 2004 – and has since been taken over by their three children in 2020. The RIGGUARD Team continues to employ a customer-first approach that is dedicated to manufacturing high-quality grille guards at great value. Save time and money with RIGGUARD.
