Innovative

We listen to our customers. They’re our livelihood. Advancing our technology to suit their needs is fundamental to our success. In fact, our first scoreboard was the result of a coach’s need. We continuously innovate and improve our products to stay on top of our game.

Behind each of our great products and services stands an incredibly smart, gifted and talented group of people. We are the experts in our industry and being technical has always been our specialty. Our engineers create some of the most sophisticated display, audio and rigging systems on the planet. We celebrate our "techiness" – in fact, it’s our virtue.

Our History

Two South Dakota State University engineering professors, Aelred Kurtenbach and Duane Sander, founded Daktronics in 1968. Their dream was to retain talented students by providing viable, challenging work right here in South Dakota. Today, Daktronics has grown into a world-leading manufacturing operation.


Corporate Philanthropy

Daktronics values engagement in the communities where our employees live and work.

Community Donation Program

Daktronics supports employees' engagement in their communities by matching their donations to non-profits or educational organizations.

NAIA Scholar-Athlete Award

In conjunction with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, we sponsor the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete program, recognizing excellence in the classroom by NAIA-member student-athletes who are sophomores or above in academic standing with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. The awards are given annually to outstanding student-athletes in the various sports in which the program is active and their respective teams are eligible for NAIA postseason competition.
