Dur-A-Lift Opens New Factory

Dur-A-Lift, Inc. celebrated the opening of its newly completed factory expansion, in George, Iowa, with a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 22, 2015.

Dur-A-Lift hosted representatives from its worldwide distributor network at the event and noted the achievement along with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds. Both Mr. Branstad and Mr. Reynolds spoke at the event. The ribbon cutting marked the latest milestone in the ongoing growth and expansion of Lyon County Iowa’s largest manufacturer, and non-gaming based employer.

Dur-A-Lift, Inc. is a wholly-owned division of Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI). Ground was broken for the new facility in July of 2014. Dur-A-Lift’s building project adds 2,415 m² to DTI’s existing 20,000+ m² facility. DTI expects to add jobs to its 260+ person workforce, and double Dur-A-Lift’s production capacity with this factory expansion.

DTI is made up of 3 divisions. Dur-A-Lift, Inc. manufactures truck- and van-mounted aerial lifts for electrical, telecom, sign and rental industries. Sudenga Industries, Inc. is a leading agricultural equipment manufacturer and Ranger All-Season Corporation supplies mobility scooters to the healthcare and rental industries. Through its Sudenga division, DTI traces its roots back over 125 years in the northwest Iowa town of George, to its founding in 1888 by blacksmith Folkert Sudenga.
