COMMUNITY MINDED, CUSTOMER FOCUSED by Stan Lockhart<br />
It comes as no surprise that a company like DACO<br />
Precision is a leader in their community for noble causes, one<br />
of which is their local chapter of United Way. A few years ago,<br />
you may remember, DACO donated two of their wire EDM<br />
tooling machines, to two local high schools to help create<br />
interest in the manufacturing environment while trying to<br />
develop the next generation of tool and die makers. Everyone<br />
in manufacturing today knows how hard it is to hire and train<br />
these workers that are so vital to a strong manufacturing base<br />
in this country.<br />
And, while we all see players in the NFL and other<br />
professional sports promoting the many great causes of the<br />
United Way, here in the town of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, the<br />
owners of DACO and its employees are dedicating their time<br />
and resources to raising money in the community by<br />
auctioning off various gifts and donations from generous<br />
vendors, workers, suppliers and other individuals. Last year in<br />
2014, DACO was one of only four other companies in their<br />
county to receive 3-separate United Way awards. Randy<br />
BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE<br />
THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 53<br />
Weber, president of DACO credits the strong leadership of<br />
Carla Kachellek, their office manager, for orchestrating all the<br />
efforts necessary each year to pull off this remarkable feat.<br />
For those customers that have worked with Carla at one<br />
point or another over the last eighteen years of her time at<br />
DACO, they have witnessed and benefitted from her unselfish<br />
attitude that is so evident in the way she handles her daily<br />
customer service related activities. And, if that is not enough,<br />
Carla and her sister operate a dog rescue organization caring<br />
for and placing homeless dogs with adoptive families. Not one<br />
to search out the spotlight, she will be embarrassed by all the<br />
accolades. But, the real winners are all those that benefit from<br />
the work and dedication of the entire group at DACO Precision.<br />
DACO manufactures special washers, custom stampings<br />
and assemblies at their 64,000 square foot facility in<br />
Kewaskum, Wisconsin, and is dedicated to working with key<br />
distributor partners for Vendor Managed Inventory programs.<br />
They are community minded and customer centered in all<br />
facets of their work and personal lives!<br />
