D & D ENGINEERING - OUR MISSION
We sell all types of sensors, transducers and transmitters
for the measurement of physical properties. These properties include
temperature, pressure, flow, force, torque, level, humidity, voltage,
current, power, and toxic and hazardous gas concentration. We
add to our sensor mix recorders, microprocessor controllers, signal
conditioners, isolators and re-transmitters.
We are an applications driven company. We assist
our clients from the very beginning, guiding them to make the
best choices through each stage of a project. We include the details
needed for a complete measurement or control solution. In addition
to specific hardware recommendations, we also provide detailed
pricing and delivery information.
Our complementary, yet varied product line provides
our customers with a selection of high quality products at competitive
prices. All of our products can be applied to OEM and end-user
applications. We really are the Sensor Guys, Your Measurement
and Control Connection.
Here's a quotation from Dave Snyder, President of
D&D Engineering:
"Our customers are often unsure of how to
solve their measurement needs. We offer an application driven
approach to solve their problem. This means that we look for the
best technical solution regardless of the manufacturer. Our titles
are 'Sales Engineer', but we are all graduate engineers with over
50 years of instrumentation and controls experience."
BRIEF HISTORY OF D & D ENGINEERING
D & D Engineering was formed in 1987 by David Snyder as a part-time
consulting company in the instrument marketing and test equipment
design field. In July of 1993 the company became a Manufacturer's
Representative company when Dave realized that most representative
companies do not help their Principals get designed into their customer's
products. Dave felt this was an important part of being a Representative,
and since he had an extensive background in Sales and Marketing
Management and Engineering, he decided that this was the avenue
he would like to pursue on a full-time basis.
DAVID SNYDER, PRESIDENT -- BACKGROUND AND STAFF
Dave has been a design engineer as well as Vice President of Marketing
and Sales at several prominent corporations, including Validyne
Engineering, Transducer Technologies, Incorporated, and MagneTek
Transducer Products. In addition, Dave designed instrument systems
and has been responsible for test activities throughout his professional
career. As a Manufacturer's Representative, he utilized his background
in instrumentation to assist his Principals in getting designs into
customer products and to assist potential customers in selecting
the correct transducer to solve various technical problems.
The philosophy of D & D Engineering is threefold. The first
one is to assist customers in selecting the correct solution to
solve their measurement problems. The second is to help define the
application to each of its Principals from a technical standpoint.
And the third is to provide the pricing details of the competitive
products offered.
D & D Engineering became a Division of DND Technologies, Incorporated
in February of 1995, and now operates as such. There are two offices
in the state of California, with the corporate office located in
Northridge, in Southern California.
The Northern California office was opened in Shingle Springs, CA
and is staffed by Cathy Loganwho joined the company in June of 2000.
This office is responsible for all sales in Northern California.
D & Dâs primary focus has been OEM accounts, and their product
lines reflect that target market.
With product variation, D & D Engineering can assist its Customers
and Principals in offering the best in a variety of fields. And,
with a selective line list, D & D can devote more time to each
Principal, and spend more time with each Customer. As a result,
the Principals will receive more for their money, and the Customers
will acquire more customized and high-quality products in an atmosphere
that is friendly and provides competitive pricing.
In 1995 D & D Engineering expanded its product lines into the
Process Control and Automation markets. A copy of D & Dâs Line
List is attached for your review. You will notice that D & Dâs
specialty is Pressure, Temperature, OEM and Instrumentation applications,
and its territory is currently exclusive to California and Nevada.
In late 1997 we added several distributor products to our Line
List in selective areas. These products augment our Line List and
expand us into the Process Control marketplace.
In late 1996 D & D Engineering joined the Electronic Representative
Association (ERA). Since this organization is devoted primarily
to Manufactures Representatives we felt that this would enhance
our professional position and establish us with other professionals
in the same profession. In addition to ERA we have affiliation with
the Instrument Society of America (ISA) and the Society of Automotive
Engineering (SAE).
In November of 1998 Jerry Becker rejoined the company as Program
Manager of Systems Integration. In addition, Jerry assists in the
Representative marketing area and performs several sales functions.
Jerry is has a Degree in Control Systems Engineering and Is Registered
Professional Engineering for Control Systems in the state of California.
Jerry has become a valuable asset to the company.
Since we started as a Consulting Company we have kept abreast with
the technological advances in the Instrumentation, Process Control
and Automation industries. We have maintained a small engineering
staff to assist Customers with custom designs and have designed
several systems and products. Always keeping in mind our Principals
and their products in these designs.
We can offer our customers quick response to specific designs and
prototyping in circuits, products and systems. We have designed
products that were CE Approved and CSA Approved for Intrinsically
Safe environments. Depending on the customerâs requirements the
design activity through prototypes have taken as little as 3 weeks
to 3 months.
As a result of our membership in ERA we are affiliated with several
Manufacture Representatives in other fields and other states. This
expands our horizons beyond the Manufacture Representative and Distributor
of Instrumentation Products and Control Systems.
We have grown steadily and will continue to grow with a philosophy
of assisting our Customers and Principals with their products and
keeping a high profile support in Applications and Engineering.
