Dan Majewski
Controller

Having collaborated with many different departments at Dukane, I have learned that our greatest asset is our people. It has always been that way here.  I remember Jack Stone, who ran the company for over 60 years, saying the same thing. I am proud to be a part of an organization that has valued its employees and customers for almost a century.

Russ Witthoff
Director of Sales and Marketing - Asia and Europe

It has been my privilege to be able to help develop Dukane expand around the world and develop into the global company it is now.  It has been a long journey spanning two decades, but a greatly satisfying one.  I feel real joy seeing the excitement of our team members as they work together, learn from each other, and collaborate worldwide.  It’s this great team work that allows us to provide the best products and support for our customers.

Jen Gustafson
VP of HR & Administration

Dukane has been a great place to work for 100 years.  Our teams innovate together with congeniality and energy.  Annual traditions like the family picnic, employee recognition dinner, and local volunteering enhance those relationships. We carry on our founder’s commitment to caring for our employees and perpetuate the family-owned business values the Stones espoused.  It is a privilege to be part of Team Dukane, and it’s the people who make it that way.

Victoria Wolf

The History of Dukane is marked by innovation and as we complete a century of doing business we continue to be the cutting-edge solution providers in the industry which equates to World Class Customer Service.

Inevitably Customer Service is the personality of a company.  And our personality contains drive and passion to be the best every day. I strive to ensure that personality continues to shine brighter and brighter and our customers keep coming back for more!

Paul Cathcart
Laser Business Unit Manager

Dukane has always fostered an atmosphere of creativity and invention.  This enables us to push the boundary of our capabilities ever outward to develop custom tailored, innovative solutions to solve our customers ever evolving challenges.  This creative atmosphere is also the reason why I take pride in and enjoy the work I do today as much as I did when I started over 15 years ago.  It is also the same reason that my 30+ strong team of applications and tooling engineers all share the same passion that I do for this company.
