DSG, Fargo, ND, recently opened a new 120,000-sq-ft facility in Fargo. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on May 7, followed by a tour of the warehouse facility with employee owners, customers, manufacturing partners, and community stakeholders. The company said that the facility will help increase its local inventory in the market and that because it has enhanced material handling capabilities, it can better support customers with the products they need, when they need them. This facility will serve as a regional distribution center, ensuring timely and efficient service across North Dakota and western Minnesota.
"We are thrilled about the opportunities ahead in Fargo,” said Paul Kennedy, DSG’s president and CEO, in the press release. "Our new facility provides ample space for accelerated growth and enhanced service capabilities for years to come for our valued customers and manufacturing partners.”
The local team in Fargo has supplied customers in the electrical space for nearly a century, since 1929. Starting as Fargo Plumbing in 1898, the company quickly pivoted to electrical distribution as the region’s electrical infrastructure was established. The DSG press release said the company’s significant growth throughout its footprint has supported the local team of employee owners’ ability to quickly outgrow their historic location by expanding their product offerings into both plumbing and HVAC.
According to the press release, “With 127 years since its humble beginnings in Fargo, DSG continues to be firmly rooted in the local community, with abundant partnerships in the education system through trades-based scholarships, sponsoring an innovative high school career academy pathway focused on distribution, manufacturing and transportation, partnering with a college-level sales program, and more.
“DSG’s community-focused mindset has contributed to the company’s proactive growth approach across ten states, 62 branches, and successfully building futures and for 1,060-plus proud employee owners.”
The press release also said that as an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), employee ownership will help its employees power continued growth throughout North Dakota and western Minnesota. Every full-time DSG employee-owner has a vested interest in delivering a best-in-class customer experience within their local community.
