History

1917

Dane Manufacturing is established by a group of local investors looking to develop and manufacture a below the frost line water pump. The Can’t Clog hog feeder became a staple in the agriculture industry. After a successful run, the company branched out as a contract manufacturer.

1943

Dane’s operations ceased in mid 1942 in compliance with Federal restrictions during WWII. Expecting a significant rise in costs and growing competition, Dane’s leadership focused on optimizing and modernizing their manufacturing methods to make them more profitable and planned for capital investment in new equipment to further improve operations. When the factory resumed options in 1943 they were positioned to compete in the new, challenging landscape.

2001

Dane Manufacturing is purchased by owner and CEO Troy Berg. With a strong background in engineering, he turned to his highly skilled workforce and aimed to build an innovative, growing company while maintaining focus on valuing employees and customer service.

2007

Dane Manufacturing wins its first of six INC 5000 awards demonstrating its long-term commitment to excellence in manufacturing. Dane Manufacturing also won in 2008, 2009, 2013, 2019 and 2020.

2015

Dane Manufacturing commits to a goal of tripling the size of the company in 3 years. Through innovation, capabilities growth and acquisition the goal was reached, serving more customers and creating new jobs for the community.
