FULTON, MO – Danuser Machine Company, LLC, broke ground on Nov. 10, 2026 on an 85,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing facilities in Fulton, MO. The more than $24 million investment will bring the company’s total manufacturing footprint to approximately 200,000 square feet and is Danuser’s fourth expansion since 2013. The new building will be located just off Highway 54 on State Highway HH.

The new standalone facility will house Danuser’s painting, assembly, warehousing, and shipping functions, including a modern paint line. It will also provide space for future product line additions and improve product flow throughout the manufacturing operation. Expected completion is early 2028. The added space and capabilities will increase operating capacity and position Danuser to meet growing customer demand.
Inside Danuer’s Expansion and Investment
“Making this type of investment shows our commitment to growth, future products, and being part of the community. We are the fourth generation of ownership, and we are building for the generations that will follow,” said Glenn Danuser, co-president of Danuser.
The project represents the latest chapter of growth for a company that has called Fulton home for over 116 years. Established in 1910, Danuser remains a fourth-generation, family-owned business.
The expansion reflects the standard that has guided generations of the Danuser family. As founder K.B. Danuser said, “Good enough won’t do – it must be right.” That philosophy continues to shape the company’s approach to its products, manufacturing, employees, and customers.
Today, Danuser employs approximately 140 full-time and 8 part-time employees. This expansion is expected to bring 35 new jobs over the next 5 years.
Creating 35 New Jobs
Danuser products are sold worldwide in the agricultural, construction, and landscaping markets. In addition to products sold under the Danuser name, the company serves as an original equipment manufacturer for hundreds of other manufacturers across those industries.
Danuser is once again partnering with Septagon Construction as the contractor and SOA Architecture as the architect for the project. Both firms worked with Danuser on previous expansions, and the company is glad to build on those relationships as it begins its newest chapter.
Danuser wants to recognize its local partners who helped make the project possible: The Callaway Bank, City of Fulton, Callaway County, Callaway Chamber of Commerce, and Fulton Area Development Foundation. Their support reflects a shared commitment to the long-term growth of Fulton and Callaway County.
“Danuser Machine Company’s 116-year history is a source of pride for Fulton. The continued growth of a longstanding company like Danuser reflects the stability of our community and confidence in its future. We are grateful to the Danuser family for choosing Fulton time and again as the place to invest, expand, and grow their company,” said Tamara Tateosian, CEO of the Callaway Chamber of Commerce.
