Valmont Mourns Passing of Founder

Founder of Valmont Industries, Omaha, NE, Robert B. Daugherty passed away late last month after a short illness. Daugherty retired in 2004 from Valmont’s Board of Directors after serving for 57 years.

“We’ve lost much more than our founder,” said Valmont’s Chairman and CEO Mogens C. Bay. “We’ve lost a great leader, mentor, innovator and friend. His vision laid the groundwork for a global industry. He literally changed the surface of the earth.” ◆
