Founded by his father Oscar Larson, Dale Larson began his career with Larson Manufacturing in 1962. He led the expansion of manufacturing to Brookings, South Dakota, in 1964. With the passing of Oscar Larson in 1968, Dale Larson became the Larson Manufacturing Company president and CEO.

On the verge of adding a fourth building in Albert Lea, the company received a special invitation in 1961 to establish a plant in Lake Mills, Iowa.

When later asked if he and his company were happy there, Oscar Larson said, “It was the smartest move I ever made.”

LARSON manufactured aluminum combination doors and windows, shutters, push bars, and awnings at its Lake Mills plant.

Oscar Larson had many fond memories of moving day. He just shook his head in amazement at the force of some thirty trucks and numerous businessmen and farmers who transferred the entire business to Lake Mills in one trip!

On a cold fall day in the early fifties, 62 year old Oscar Larson stood upon a rickety ladder stretched up to his second floor bedroom while putting up the storm windows on his family home. He thought, “There’s got to be a better way!”
That's when L​arson Manufacturing began as a one-man operation.

​Larson designed his own windows and began a regional door, window, and aluminum awning company called Larson Distributing Company, later known as Larson Manufacturing Company in his hometown of Albert Lea, MN.
