KD Manufacturing was founded in 1946 in Cleburne and moved to Waco in 1966 after fire destroyed its original facility. Manitou began working with KD in 1980, acquired a 51% stake in the business in 1981 and purchased the rest of the company in 1981, becoming KD Manitou. Link to "www.kwtx.com" The factory closed in 2021.

CougarTim ◊ 2022-11-19 23:23	I looked through the Manitou we have already. This looks like it's the first one we've found in the United States, and only one so far in Canada (where maybe they kept the native French name?). -- Last edit: 2022-11-19 23:23:19
