Our History |
Dural Company, Inc. was started in 1935 by Frank W. Wamser in the city of Milwaukee, WI. The first decade and a half were successful and held witness to several headquarter locations within Milwaukee. It wasn't until 1950 that Frank was faced with another move as Dural Company, Inc.'s facility was to be torn down to accommodate street improvements. This proved to be a pivotal moment for the future.
In 1950, Frank decided to use this hardship as an opportunity and moved into a larger facility on Milwaukee's Southside. It was during this year Dural Company, Inc. became one of the larger manufactures of industrial adhesives which supplied the Northwestern United States. Based on Dural Company Inc.'s growing success, Frank decided that 1950 was the perfect time to enter the Contact Cement market. In 1951, Francis P. Wamser, son of Frank, was appointed president of Dural Company, Inc. Throughout the years to follow, Francis was instrumental in the substantial growth the company experienced. It was also during this time that Dural Research made it possible to meet the ever changing demands for adhesives for manufactures in many different fields. Over the next decade, Dural Company, Inc. experienced a triple increase in sales. Realizing its current location was inadequate to meet the substantial demand, it was time for one final move; to design and build a facility which could accommodate current and future business. So, in 1964, Dural Company, Inc. began construction of its headquarters, which still holds true today, at 5724 W. Florist Ave. in Milwaukee, WI. |
