The Danoco Corporation was formed in 1988 for the purpose of marketing Knee-Rider. The name Danoco came from the inventor, Dan Olson, who invented the first plush Knee-Rider type toy back in 1974 for his 2 year old son. We applied for a patent in 1988, and was awarded one in 1991. We went on to test market our Knee-Rider in Wal-Mart stores and did very well! We wanted to be the first company to introduce a child/adult interactive plush toy and we were!

In the age of internet, we are using the worldwide web to reach our next avenue of sales.The Danoco Corporation is made up of Dan Olson (the inventor), his brother, and a long time friend. Our wives’ and childrens’ input have been a great help and inspiration to us, which we appreciate tremendously! Thanks to Knee-Riders success, we've recently built a new outlet and shipping store in Hill City, MN. We hope to hear from you soon!

Thank You!
Danoco Corporation
