President Trump Visits Dane Manufacturing
On October 1st, 2024, we had the opportunity to host President Trump at our Waunakee, Wisconsin facility. Guests and dignitaries heard from local men and women, a Dane employee, and past Governors Scott Walker & Tommy Thompson. President Trump closed the event with over an hour’s worth of remarks. The event was not only a success, but a massive testament to the work and dedication of our team members who were able to prepare our facility for this high-profile event in just a few days.
A Flurry of Activity
Transforming our facility into a welcoming environment suitable for hosting this event was no small feat. With just a few days to work with, our team sprang into action and got to work getting our facility ready. This included moving equipment and machinery, moving walls and partitions and more. Site security and event logistics were critical, and our team worked together with the campaign team and the US Secret Service to make sure the event was both successful and safe. Once the event was complete, the work continued. Our team worked around the clock to reset the factory and get production back up and running efficiently for our customers.
Gratitude and Reflection
As we reflect on the experience, we are extremely thankful for the dedication and teamwork exhibited by our amazing staff. This event was a huge undertaking and serves as a reminder of what our team can accomplish when we work together with a common goal. We are also thankful to President Trump’s campaign team for reaching out to us about a visit. It was a tremendous honor to have a United States President visit our facility.
Certainly, we celebrate that there are passionate and valuable viewpoints on a number of very important issues impacting our communities and our country. We encourage our employees and the Waunakee community to research the important issues impacting our state and country and to share their voice by voting for the candidate of their choosing in November.
