Productivity purchased Moncktons Machine Tools, a long-standing, reputable machine tool company serving the Rocky Mountain states. Originally known as DLM or Duboc-Lane and Monckton, Inc., in 1952, Bill Moncktons bought Duboc and Lane out in 1982, changing its name to Moncktons Machine Tools. Just like Productivity, they offered Tooling, Machine Tools, and support to the manufacturing community of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico with a motto of “We service what we sell”. By the year 2000, they had grown into one of the largest machine tool dealers in the mountain states. This partnership with Moncktons Machine Tools enabled Productivity to expand its name and reputation into the Rocky Mountain region.
Productivity Inc’s Oktoberfest Tool Show started in 1981 as a means to showcase new equipment, accessories and other innovations while in a fun-filled atmosphere inspired by a German-theme Oktoberfest with the usual music and food-fare. On display you’ll find somewhere in the order of 60 plus machines under power with live demonstrations and educational seminars too! Held every other year, this event continues to be one of the largest tool shows hosted by a distributor with visitors from all over the Midwest and further.
As a single source supplier, Productivity offers everything you need to keep your machine up and running throughout the life of your investment. In addition to selling you the best machine for your facility, we offer tooling and accessories, advanced and integrated supply and vending solutions, applications engineering, robotics & automation, service and preventive maintenance for your machine and strong after-sale customer support. We’ll even help you sell your machine and tools once you’re done with them!
Over the last 50 years, one thing that has remained constant is that Productivity’s success is driven by its employees – from those who manage to those who support – it is these people that embody and continue to implement the mission of our organization. Productivity prides itself on hiring and retaining bright, dedicated, passionate and fun people, and believes that succeeding is a team effort – that every team member is fully devoted to serving the customer either directly or indirectly.
To accommodate the growing needs of its business, Productivity expanded its facility in Plymouth. This update included a new building, expansion of offices in the adjacent building, and renovation of the current facility. The expansion gave Productivity the ability to have more machines on the showroom floor for display and demonstrations, house a rotary table repair bay, and provide more room for its growing Tooling & Accessories, Machinesused.com, and Robotics and Automation divisions.
1968 was the year that changed America, but it was also the year that Productivity was born. Productivity’s name is no accident – it was chosen to represent the idea that the company provides products and services that will increase productivity in the manufacturing workplace. Today, Productivity prides itself on being a foremost expert and supplier of everything for the manufacturing industry in the Upper Midwest and Rocky Mountain states.
Yes we do! The experts at Productivity are here to assist you every step of the way, from selecting the right equipment, to installation, to post-installation service and support. We strive to make your machine tool investment experience as productive and hassle-free as possible by partnering with you from the beginning and that includes financing, pre-installation, trafficking, rigging, installation, maintenance and repairs and service.
Productivity Inc. opened its doors in Minneapolis, MN, in October 1968. The first machine tool line represented was Pratt and Whitney, based in Hartford, Connecticut. Previous locations included a basement and an office that was once mistaken for a barbershop. At the helm was Dan Stenoien, an area businessman with a unique business model for the machine tool sales industry at the time—a 1-to-1 ratio of sales and service.
The historical background: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September.
