“While growing up, I always knew that I would work in the family business and was proud to be the first degreed engineer for the company” Charles said.  “Evidently Dad thought it would be cheaper to raise an engineer rather than hire one!  I was one of the few students at Iowa State that knew exactly what I would be doing after graduation.” 

Commenting on growing up in the 56 year old business, Charles said, “Being a part of the growth and expansion of Sukup Manufacturing Co. has been a dream come true for me. It was humbling to come back as our first degreed engineer and be surrounded by so many talented and creative people.  While many did not have formal degrees, their innovative ideas were key to our early success that we now take for granted.” Sukup Manufacturing Co.

In fulfillment of the aspiration to be family owned and operated, yet committed to the best professional management, the family shareholders of Sukup Manufacturing Co. recently elected John Lisle of Lisle Corporation, Clarinda, Iowa; Drew Vogel of Diamond Vogel, Orange City, Iowa; and Eric Lohmeier of NCP, Inc. of Des Moines, Iowa to its Board of Directors. Also, a search for a new CFO is being held.
