DSB Technologies is proud to announce Dan Blum as the 2025 Klawitter Award recipient.
The Klawitter Award is DSB’s Employee of the Year award, recognizing employees who demonstrate dedication, mentorship, perseverance, technical excellence, and support of positive change.
Dan has been part of the DSB team for more than two decades. Beginning as an operator, he quickly demonstrated exceptional technical ability, initiative, and a strong commitment to learning. Through years of hard work and dedication, he advanced into a key technical leadership role within our organization.
Dan has been central to the growth and development of DSB’s machining department, from the days when there were only a few CNC machines in the facility to the selection, purchase, implementation, and development of nearly every CNC mill and lathe added over the years.
Employees consistently describe Dan as someone who shares his knowledge freely, builds confidence in those around him, and takes the time to teach others in a way that encourages growth and learning.
Congratulations, Dan, and thank you for your continued commitment to DSB Technologies. Your dedication and positive impact do not go unnoticed!
