The Dutton-Lainson Company is a mid-sized, long-established Midwestern firm that operates across manufacturing, printing, and wholesale, underpinned by diversification and a culture of innovation. It began in 1886 when William M. Dutton and two partners started a harness and horse collar shop, later growing into one of the nation's largest producers of horse collars and expanding through diversification. In 1920, the company added a wholesale division, reinforcing a strategy of diversification that has continued to the present day, and it now serves marine, agricultural, industrial, and automotive markets worldwide. The firm retooled in the 1940s to support wartime needs and earned Army-Navy E pennants for quality and service. Based in Hastings, Nebraska, United States, Dutton-Lainson emphasizes integrity and ongoing adaptation to meet evolving customer needs.
