| | In 1888 two immigrants from Germany settled near the George area and recognized the need for local blacksmithing services. The George Iron and Woodworks began in late 1887 by providing farmers with shoes for their horses and replacement parts for their wagons. In the late forties and early fifties, due to an overwhelming demand and a devastating fire, the company was propelled into manufacturing. The first products ever produced by Sudenga Industries were rear end and manure loaders for the Ford Fergusen Tractor.
As the years progressed and production increased the products and services were expanded to include a variety of grain and feed handling equipment, as well as 3 and 4 wheel scooters manufactured by Ranger All Season Corporation and Dur-A-Lift personal aerial lifts. Today Sudenga Industries is still growing with an ever expanding product line and customer base. Owners and employees alike maintain a proud tradition of customer service and a commitment to quality. | |
