In 2022 TRUe a publication produced by Trumpf, sat down to discuss Dane Manufacturing and hear directly from our President and CEO Troy Berg about the impact of partnerships and our relationship with Trumpf which is over two decades old. From the first equipment purchase to the execution of our vision for a fully automated factory, our collaborative relationship with Trumpf continues to drive our pursuit of growth and innovation.
Article Excerpt:
Today, Dane Manufacturing is located in the Wisconsin town of Waunakee, named a “fair and pleasant valley” by the Ho-Chunk Native Americans who originally hunted and fished the region. But the company was still six miles to the north, in the village of Dane, when its partnership with TRUMPF began more than two decades ago. It was shortly after 9/11 when Troy Berg attended the 2001 FABTECH show in Chicago and discovered TRUMPF equipment. Berg had just purchased Dane Manufacturing with its ten employees and little over $1 million in sales from the widowed half of a husband-and-wife team, and he was looking to expand into fabrication. Little did Berg realize then how his relationship with TRUMPF – and his business – would dramatically expand in the years ahead.
