Shoto Corporation, based in Shoto, Wisconsin is a family-owned business that was founded in 1954. Situated on the beautiful West Twin River dam, the main manufacturing facility was the former Neshoto Saw and Flour Mill, which was destroyed by fire in 1949. Portions of the existing structure were salvaged and re-built into 4,500 sq. ft. of space to start a local cabinet shop business (Shoto Fixture and Supply) with the first customers being home owners interested in beautiful kitchen and bath cabinetry. Over the years, products manufactured expanded into the hospitality, healthcare, office furniture, and school furniture markets. At this point, Shoto became one of the premier builders of bars and restaurant fixtures in the Midwest. This expansion of products and customers required additional floor space with multiple facility expansions from 1963-1977 at the main site. In 1999, a second building was erected in nearby Two Rivers, Wisconsin to support growth and future expanstion. As our facilities have grown, Shoto has also diversified its capabilities by investing in state of the art CNC machinery and production processes. Regardless of the reliability and accuracy of our machinery, attention to detail and quality remains our hallmark. Shoto Corporation currently employs 75 full time workers and continues to produce first-class products at both facilities.
