Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin
Historical Perspective
Our company originated in 1981, Garden City, Kansas, as part of Butler Manufacturing Company and was involved in the development of products for “on-board” weighing in the cattle feeding industry. Our Model OMP 20 Indicators were the first products of their kind and many are still in use today. Butler moved the scale division in 1984 to our current location in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin and later sold the scale division to J-Star Industries in 1987. The company operated as J-Star Electronics, a division of J-Star Industries, for eight years. Our continuous growth necessitated that we be established as a separate company in 1995 under the name of Digi-Star, LLC.
In 1998, Digi-Star LLC purchased the assets and product line of the (TC) Tyrel Corporation, a leading manufacturer of specialized on-board weighting indicators with unique data transfer and pc software integration capabilities.
In November of 1999, Digi-Star LLC purchased marketing capabilities and established a distribution center (Digi-Star Europe) in the Netherlands, to better serve our growing customer base in Europe.
In January of 2006, Digi-Star LLC was purchased by Capital for Business, Inc. (CFB), Northstar Capital LLC and members of Digi-Star’s management team from JSI Industries, Inc. (formerly J-Star Industries). This change presents exciting opportunities for the customers, management, and employees of Digi-Star LLC.
Our historic association with leaders in the agricultural industry has given us a commitment to the highest standards of quality. This commitment is reflected in our dedication to provide leading edge products to our customers.
