Our History

Two South Dakota State University engineering professors, Aelred Kurtenbach and Duane Sander, founded Daktronics in 1968. Their dream was to retain talented students by providing viable, challenging work right here in South Dakota. Today, Daktronics has grown into a world-leading manufacturing operation.

Corporate Philanthropy

Daktronics values engagement in the communities where our employees live and work.

Community Donation Program

Daktronics supports employees' engagement in their communities by matching their donations to non-profits or educational organizations.

NAIA Scholar-Athlete Award

In conjunction with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, we sponsor the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete program, recognizing excellence in the classroom by NAIA-member student-athletes who are sophomores or above in academic standing with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. The awards are given annually to outstanding student-athletes in the various sports in which the program is active and their respective teams are eligible for NAIA postseason competition.

United Way

Daktronics employees, retirees, and the company have been uniting to make an impact in our communities since the 1980s, with a company match for pledges from employees and retirees.
