The beginning · 1920

A pattern shop.
A lasting purpose.

Joseph O. Danko Sr. founded the Danko Pattern and Manufacturing Company at Light and Lee Streets in Baltimore in 1920. The business expanded into foundry operations and machining, bringing more of the manufacturing process together.

Today, the company combines aluminum and bronze sand casting, additive manufacturing, tooling and precision CNC machining.
