History
Overview

 In 1976, an engineer and Vice-President of Robbins and Meyers considered his options. George H. Zimmer was in charge of the Moyno pump division, and at the age of 62, was facing retirement. His engineering leadership of 31 years left a mark on Moyno products, and his work there was certainly part of him. His respect for Moyno's professional personnel and the mechanically superior designs they created, compelled him to find a way to still be a part of the business he so admired. He left Ohio with his notes, books, and lifetime of knowledge, to start a small business supporting and selling Moyno in North Carolina.

Mr. Zimmer created Daparak in June 1976,  by using the first letter, of the first name, of his four children
(David and Paul and Roger and Kathy). David and Roger Zimmer continue his legacy as the current joint owners of the business.

For fourteen months, Daparak's "corporate headquarters" was an apartment in Greensboro, N.C.

From this location, George pounded the pavements of Eastern North Carolina as a manufacturer's representative and quickly established a core of accounts. By 1978, George's three sons, Roger, Paul, and David joined the growing company. With the additional staff, sales offices were opened in Virginia Beach and Roanoke, Virginia.

To provide better customer service, in 1980, Daparak became a stocking distributor and began to purchase inventory to fill a small warehouse in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The years since 1980 have produced a steady and consistent growth in sales, inventory, and customer support capability. In 1984, George began his semi-retirement and turned the ownership and management of the corporation over to his sons.
