About Twin Disc
A global leader in power transmission technology, Twin Disc plays a critical role in transportation, food production, and military functions. Their expertise in engineering and manufacturing intricate machinery is vital to some of the nation’s most essential operations.
Personal Connection
It’s been incredible to work with the leadership at Twin Disc, including John Batten and Greg Mueller, who are not only my friends but also respected business leaders. Watching them in action has given our friendship new depth, allowing me to see different sides of their lives. These leaders aren’t just smart and motivated—they’re genuinely kind and fun to be around. They are great examples of what true leadership looks like, both in business and in the Racine community.
Scope
Over the past three years, Varitay Studios has captured key aspects of Twin Disc’s growth:
- Executive Headshots: Highlighting the professionalism and approachability of the leadership team.
- Manufacturing Photography: Showcasing the precision and scale of their production processes for corporate reports.
- New Buildouts: Documenting the development of new facilities that reflect Twin Disc’s forward-thinking investment in technology.
- Employee Focus: We also featured loyal and dedicated employees in their annual report, including Dan Tennessee, a proud 52-year employee. It was a special moment to follow Dan in a “day in the life” shoot, celebrating his long-standing commitment to Twin Disc. Congrats, Dan!
Through this collaboration, we’ve created imagery that not only meets Twin Disc’s goals but also honors the impressive work they do for industries that are the backbone of our nation.
