Bill Santo Visits Danko Arlington, Inc.

On October 26^th, 2021, Mr. William J. Santo visited Danko Arlington, Inc. 

Mr. Santo, who is now over ninety-years-old, was our Foundry Superintendent from 1965 to 1980.  Although Bill lives in the Baltimore area, he has not been back to the foundry in decades.  Now that the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions have eased, Mr. Santo was able to tour the company and even reminisce about the good old times with Mr. Edward Cooper Jr. — whom Bill hired in 1977 and is still working!  

At the time of Bill’s leadership, the company experienced many challenges including local civil rights uprisings in city, the oil crisis, and high inflation.  Despite the hard times, he was able to acquire new casting opportunities that were used in the Cold and Vietnam wars – including some defense programs which we continue to supply today.

Danko Arlington is grateful for Mr. Santo’s years of service and wishes him continued health and a happiness in his retirement.
