The DAC Group is a specialty components distributor focused on the interconnect and fastener markets in North America, with expansion plans for other regions. Based in Wilmington, Mass., the DAC Group has two divisions: Heilind takes care of hardware; DB Roberts handles interconnect components. The company has concentrated on expanding its North American presence as well as providing value-added services. It has six value-added centers across the United States to assist customers using products from 3M, FCI, Molex, Panduit, Samtec and Tyco Electronics (AMP connectors and Raychem components).
The company said customers can tap into a host of services, including assembly for circular connectors, D-subs, switches and relays; kitting for components; parts modification, such as dyeing and custom marking as well as custom packaging; bar coding; and quality inspections. The DAC Group also offers supply-chain services such as inventory and price checks, and order status on parts. Another differentiated service is an inventory material-replenishment system that offers several auto-replenishment solutions.
The group has expanded over the past two decades through the acquisitions of Force Electronics in 1986 and Gateway Megatech in 1998. It has 11 U.S. offices and one in Toronto. Bowing to the movement of manufacturing outside of North America, it is laying international expansion plans for Asia-Pacific and Europe--a move that will allow it to provide seamless supply-chain services across several continents.
