Sioux Falls-based JDS Industries has fulfilled an order with a big distinction: It’s No. 10 million.

The business started as a retail trophy shop in the early 1970s and began to distribute as a wholesale supplier in 1978. In 1993, the company added its first warehouse outside Sioux Falls in St. Louis.

JDS now has 14 warehouses nationwide and ships worldwide.

Order No. 10 million all came with a bonus for the customer, which was West Virginia-based Brews Custom Awards. The company received a plaque to display in its office or showroom, a $500 credit with JDS and several personalized gifts.

“We truly view business as partnerships,” said Mike May, chief operating officer of JDS.

“Customers, vendors and employees are all vital partnerships, and we strive for what is in the best interest of those partners. When all parties are healthy, great things can be accomplished together. We never take our partnerships for granted.”
