Dynabrade Celebrates Milestone
Dynabrade, Inc. (Clarence, NY) is celebrating their 50th anniversary on April 1, 2019. Walter Welsch started the company near Buffalo, NY, in 1969 after inventing the Dynafile, a pneumatic power tool that replaces hand sanding and polishing. “Our founder was known as the man with a method,” says Hardy Hamann, the president of Dynabrade. “He always focused on how to improve the end-users’ finishing processes by developing specialty tools that save customers time and money. Our founder’s beliefs remain our top priority today, and because of that, I believe our company remains viable, strong and growing.”
Since its founding, Dynabrade has committed to being a U.S. manufacturer. They have grown into a global company with world-wide distribution, having subsidiaries in both Europe and Asia. They offer a complete product line of process solutions, including pneumatic abrasive power tools, abrasives, accessories and clean air solutions: industrial vacuums. They believe in bringing value to their end users and supports this with over 100 highly-trained sales representatives who provide process improvements and cost savings to some of the world’s most iconic brands, ranging from Boeing in aerospace to global automotive manufacturers, including Tesla and Ferrari. Dynabrade is also trusted by manufacturers such as Siemens and GE for their wind turbine production, Steinway & Sons for pianos, Kraftmaid for kitchen cabinetry, and local furniture manufacturer Kittinger, who has produced tables and chairs for the White House and Congress for nearly a half century. For these brands and many others, the perfect finish begins and ends with Dynabrade systems.
“Winning in today’s competitive environment globally comes down to teamwork. Our team consists of an exceptionally strong network of American parts vendors, thousands of highly committed distributors around the world assisting us in selling our products and, of course, our highly dedicated employees,” adds Hamann. “When you have a method and surround yourself with the right people, success will follow!”
