Description: PLOW Douglas Dynamics December 01, 2025
Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (NYSE:PLOW) manufactures and upfits commercial work-truck attachments and equipment across North America, operating through two segments: Work Truck Attachments, which produces snow-plows, sand and salt spreaders, and related accessories for light- and heavy-duty trucks; and Work Truck Solutions, which delivers municipal snow-control products, custom vehicle up-fits, storage systems, and cable-pulling gear, often as turnkey projects for DOTs and municipalities. The firm markets its offerings under brands such as FISHER, SNOWEX, WESTERN, and DEJANA.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue was $322 million, up 7 % year-over-year, driven by higher municipal spending on winter-maintenance contracts; the operating margin expanded to 12.3 % as the company leveraged its modular up-fit platform to improve labor efficiency. A primary economic driver is the intensity of winter weather-snowfall variability directly influences contract volumes-while broader sector trends include increased infrastructure funding from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which boosts municipal procurement of durable snow-removal equipment.
