Dotson Business Philosophy

Working with Ductile Iron Castings Daily

Dotson Iron Castings benefits from a great work force, operating in the thriving Mankato community and serving a diverse customer base. It is by recognizing the importance of these stakeholder groups that Dotson has grown and prospered for 134 years. During this same 134 years, the leadership of the company has been consistent in its conservative philosophy that consistently reinvests profits into the facility using very limited bank financing. Together, we have continually improved our operations and performance as we have moved along our lean journey of becoming the world's most agile foundry.
