BCI Burke
BCI Burke Company manufactures commercial playground, outdoor fitness, and recreation equipment from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The business was incorporated there in 1920 as a weather-stripping and radiator furniture maker, entered the playground industry after a request to fabricate a slide for a family friend, and has made play equipment its main focus ever since.
Product lines include modular play systems, early childhood and 6-to-23-month play, sensory and exploration stations, rope and rock climbers, carousels and spinners, bridges, ramps and platforms, balance beams and step pods, outdoor fitness circuits and courses, playful furniture and fencing, and playground surfacing including engineered wood fiber. Design support covers inclusive playground layouts, a color selector, a playground design search tool, and named market segments such as apartment and HOA, park, school, childcare, and church playgrounds.
Structures are built around direct-bolt connection systems, including the KoreKonnect clamp system and the EZKonnect self-leveling platform mount, with oversized non-slip punched steel platforms rated to support more than two tons, tamper-resistant stainless steel hardware, and premium powder coatings. All hardware is covered for 100 years under the Generations Warranty.
Burke holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification through NSF-ISR, is a member of IPEMA, whose third-party certification programme is validated by TUV SUD America against ASTM standards, and buys 100% of its electricity from renewable sources as an EPA Green Power Partner. Equipment is specified and quoted through a local Burke representative rather than bought from the site, so ask the representative about colors, price, and warranty terms.
