HISTORY OF MIRROCRAFT
Mirro Aluminum Company of Manitowoc, Wisconsin first began production
of aluminum boats in l956. Marketed under the name of MirroCraft, the
original line offered a series of quality boats for recreational fishing
and pleasure. Gradually, as demand grew, the boat line was expanded to
include boats from 10-19 feet in length with varying inside configurations
and features.
In 1982 several employees of Mirro Aluminum purchased the aluminum boat
business from Mirro and relocated the operation from Manitowoc,
WI to Gillett, WI. As a result, the name of the company was changed
to Northport, Inc. However, the trade name of MirroCraft was retained.
Since then Northport has been constant in its commitment to quality
while maintaining a strong tradition in the production and development
of aluminum fishing and pleasure boats. The MirroCraft name has
become and continues to be synonymous with boat innovation, safety
and quality.
In September, 2003, Northport was purchased by ClearWater Marine
which include Palm Beach
Pontoons, Weeres Pontoons,
and Keylargo fiberglass
fishing boats. MirroCraft now joins these other quality brands and
will still follow its commitment to quality into the new millennium.
