D&S Manufacturing to Celebrate 50th Anniversary with Open House

To celebrate D&S Manufacturing's 50th anniversary, Mike Dougherty, President, has invited the general public to an Open House at D&S Manufacturing on Saturday May 16. The event will feature guided plant tours, a photo gallery and refreshments.

"We are thrilled to open the plant to our neighbors and proud to show off our plate metal fabrication capabilities," said Dougherty. "We have come a long way since my dad purchased a local welding and repair shop in 1965." D&S moved to its current location in 1966 occupying a new 5,000 sq. ft. facility. With steady growth over the years came multiple expansions. A 9,300 sq. ft. addition was recently completed to accommodate new fabrication equipment in the now 150,000 sq. ft. facility.

"D&S' commitment to the community is reflected in its numerous civic activities," said a company spokesperson. "In the last year, there have been three blood drives, a peanut butter drive and a 'Stock the Pond' event to raise funds to restock D&S Pond in Lunda Park. As a strong supporter of education, D&S provides two scholarships annually for the UW Stout Science STEPS For Girls program, supplies welders and weld gasses for local high school weld programs, and also provides financial support for school projects."

In 2013, to ensure continued local ownership of the company and to reward employees for its success, D&S became majority employee owned. "The dedicated and highly skilled D&S workforce lives a commitment to superior project management, exceptional quality, accountability, teamwork and continuous improvement," said the spokesperson.
