DETROIT LAKES, MN – BTD Manufacturing, headquartered in Detroit Lakes, Minn. was recently listed as the third largest manufacturer in the United States. This is up one position from their fourth place ranking in 2018. 

“At BTD, we’re continuing to invest in our employees, our technology and our services,” says BTD President Paul Gintner. “It’s paying off in growth as more world-class OEMs look to us to provide them the parts and service very few manufacturers can provide.”

Centered on the vision of ‘One BTD’, the company strives to ensure each location provides their clients a seamless experience. This mindset of excellence combined with hard work, innovation and acquisition has led to extensive growth in more than just profits. 

Employees seek out BTD as an employer of choice because of the great corporate culture and a commitment to advancing individuals along with the local communities in which BTD operates.

Currently celebrating 40 years in business, BTD has no plans on slowing down. Moving up one rank on The Fabricator FAB 40 list has only increased their motivation to keep climbing the ranks.

“We are excited to celebrate the growth we’ve experienced,” says Gintner. “We’re at a great point in our company’s history, but this is only the beginning of our commitment to provide first-class metalwork for world-class brands.”
