On May 4th, 2023, Innovative Technologies Corporation, a Tool & Die and Metal Stamping Company, located at 201 Industrial Drive in Horicon, WI celebrated its 25-year anniversary. Innovative was started in 1998 just outside of Horicon on Main St Rd in the old Rays Sharpening Service building which had 1,100 square feet of manufacturing space. As time went on Mike Ferrell Sr and his wife Donna Ferrell expanded operations through growth that lead them to rent more manufacturing space in the Scott Properties buildings on Oak Lane in Horicon as well as the Wendorff Properties building on Hwy S in Iron Ridge. In 2005 Innovative achieved the ISO 9001 certification that it maintains to this day. In 2006 Innovative lost its founder Mike Ferrell Sr to his short battle with cancer and Donna Ferrell as well as her son Mike Jr decided to continue the business in his absence. In 2008 Innovative was recognized nationally as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) with Donna Ferrell as the Owner and President. Also, later in 2008 the company moved into its own facility with 42,000 square feet of manufacturing space that is now located in the Horicon Industrial Park. Today the business operates 2 shifts, employs 21, and entertains business relationships with various OEM manufacturers in the powersports, heavy truck, agricultural, lawncare, water treatment, lighting, construction, and various other industries in the state, nation, and world. We are pleased to have reached the 25th year of operation and wanted to thank our staff, customers, vendors, and the community for their help and support in achieving this milestone. We look forward to the many more years of success ahead of us!
