The South Dakota State Legislature established South Dakota Industries for the Blind (SDIB) in 1947, under the auspices of the South Dakota Services to the Blind and Visually Impaired, to provide vocational training and employment to the blind and visually impaired, and to those with other disabilities.

In 1997, SDIB became a privatized, non-profit organization. It is now a social enterprise with the same mission, operating a viable business in the competitive marketplace with the goal of achieving critical social impact.

Since 2000, SDIB has focused on a broader mission to create employment for a range of people with disabilities. Today, they employ people with a mental illness, autism, and traumatic brain injuries, as well as people who are deaf, physically challenged, and those who have alcohol dependency issues.
