About Dutton-Lainson

Spanning over three centuries, the Dutton-Lainson Company has ensured that its key cornerstones set back then remain today. Professionalism, innovation and diversification have elevated the company into the forefront of wholesale and distribution across five different divisions. Look no further than during the 1940’s. Dutton-Lainson rose to the “call of duty” to meet the needs of the war effort, obtaining 3 Army-Navy E Pennants for their high level of quality and service to the corps (only 5% of U.S companies received this prestigious award at the time). But just who are the Dutton-Lainson Company and how did they start? Check out this interesting historical video to commemorate the 130th year anniversary.
