History

When South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSM&T) grads James Tomich, Brett Trotter, and Josh Hammell decided to start a business, they didn't want to lay down roots anywhere but Rapid City, SD. As research scientists at the university, they helped launch laser cladding manufacturing facilities in Virginia, Ohio, and Wisconsin, but quickly realized they were losing their technology to outside states. In 2016, Endlas LC was formed.
 
Endlas has since expanded its membership to include Lee & Stephanie Trotter, Andy & Roxanne Tomich, and Nathan Trotter.
