Both of our founders and many employees grew up on farms. Their work ethic and problem-solving confidence entered our culture and inspired our theme of “Every Moment Matters.”

To provide South Dakota graduates decent jobs, we seized every opportunity that came up. We took on challenges such as an electronic voting system for Utah and an innovative wrestling scoring system. Further down the road, we also pioneered equipment for the Lake Placid Olympics, PGA tours, professional sports venues, and Times Square.

“Our first Daktronics order was in 1983. We have customers with 3rd generation Daktronics products . . . we built our company on repeat orders; Daktronics quality has aided us in that process.”  – Tim Overmyer, president, Vandaco Signs, Argos, IN
