Home > About Douglas Quikut

Douglas Products was founded in 1902 as a major producer of automotive parts. The first vacuum cleaner built by Douglas division was in the early 1940's. Douglas Division was acquired by the Scott Fetzer Company on May 1, 1968, and became Douglas Products, A Division of the Scott Fetzer Company. As a result of expanding vacuum cleaner sales, the facility in Walnut Ridge, AR was opened in January, 1972.

Douglas currently produces a variety of OEM vacuum products for Kirby, Oreck, Sears, and Campbell Hausfeld, along with hand vacs, 12 volt auto vacs, wet-dry and stick vacs sold under the Douglas name.

Quikut has been manufacturing popularly priced specialty cutlery for over 80 years. A world leader in the number of pieces produced each year, Quikut markets its products under many different names to many different types of customers in the United States and throughout the world.

Quikut moved its operation from Ohio to Walnut Ridge in late 1988. The joining of the two divisions produced the Douglas Quikut Division in Walnut Ridge. This division includes Accounting, Sales, Engineering, Customer Service, Human Resources and two manufacturing locations.
