Dorner named 2020 Manufacturer of the Year

Dorner has received the 2020 Manufacturer of the Year Award from the Hartland (Wisconsin) Chamber of Commerce. The award recognizes the company’s significant contribution to the greater Hartland area, and in particular its support for local and national businesses producing PPE products in the fight against COVID-19.

In the past year Dorner, a manufacturer of precision industrial and sanitary conveyor systems, worked closely with distributors, integrators, and end-user customers to build conveyor systems to support the manufacturing and distribution of COVID-related PPE. One of many examples is the conveyor it built for Husco, a local hydraulic and electromechanical components supplier, which shifted part of its production to manufacturing N95 respirators to be used by health care professionals and first responders. Knowing speed was of the essence, Dorner worked with a local material handling distributor to deliver a 2200 series conveyor to Husco on the same day the order was placed.
