In the heart of Dayton, Ohio, where industry hums and innovation thrives, there exists a tale of the resilience of Dayton-Phoenix Group — a story etched in the destructive forces of a fateful night.   The stage was set — an F4 tornado descended on our Dayton, Ohio, plant the evening of May 27, 2019. Tearing through steel and concrete, shattering windows, and uprooting the very foundations that held DPG’s legacy, Dayton-Phoenix Group’s familiar landscape transformed into chaos.   As a supplier to worldwide critical infrastructure needs, rail, mining, and off-highway equipment OEMs & End Users across the globe looked to us to continue our storied history of trusted and reliable solutions that keep trains moving, mines operational, and supply-chains connected.   But adversity breeds resilience, and within the tempest’s eye, something remarkable unfolded. The spirit of DPG surged. DPG leadership and employees stood strong and forged a plan for the future – to be resilient and to continue our storied history that has been around since 1939.   Five years later, we stand here stronger than ever. Dayton-Phoenix Group continues to be trusted by locomotive manufacturers, railroads, and mines world-wide to get to where they need to be, on time, efficiently, moving proudly for their customers.   Dayton-Phoenix Group: Rising from the Storm, Unyielding, Unbroken. https://lnkd.in/gH9rvVx8
