Three Generations… One Mission
At T&D Metal Products, we are proud to be a third generation, family-owned company.
It all began with the company’s founders, Otto Tauck and Howard Dittrich, who opened up a shop in Marengo, IL in 1951. They were a great team, with Howard being the idea and vision person and Otto handling the financial end of the business.
When the company outgrew their facility, Howard located an old manufacturing building in Watseka, IL, where we are still headquartered today. Just before the move, Howard bought out Otto’s company stock to become the sole owner of T&D.
Roger Dittrich, Howard’s son, was raised in the business. He began in high school as a tool and die apprentice and went on to work in all of the positions at T&D Metal over the years. In 1981, he was promoted to General Manager and helped direct operations until 1985 when his father retired and sold the company to him.
Today, T&D Metal Products is under the ownership of Shane Dittrich, Howard’s grandson. Growing up in the business like his father, Shane balances the T&D tradition of excellence while creating new methods to increase sales, quality and production on behalf of our customers.
T&D Philosophy
• We treat customers as our family, delivering quality, integrity and fairness in everything we do.
• We believe that our people are our number one asset, regardless of our equipment.
• We secure our future with a blend of customers overlapping all sectors of industry and not depending on one or two large clients.
• We offer diverse manufacturing capabilities to better serve customers, including our own proprietary product lines and ‘value-added’ services.
• We specialize in effective collaboration so we can adapt the manufacturing methods that best suit customer needs.
• We aggressively search for streamlined manufacturing methods, cost reductions, improved logistics, and overall efficiencies to pass on to our customers.
