We believe that product and application knowledge is the
cornerstone of a successful industrial and municipal program. Consequently,
we are committed to developing and maintaining at every level within our
organization, a thorough knowledge of the products we represent, how to
apply them and provide expert after-market support. To insure that Daparak
and all of our people know, and are able to support our products we have
always limited the product lines we represent. We represent only the
following quality product lines:
Each of these manufacturers produce technically superior products and
each has taken leadership positions in the marketplace. Daparak does,
however, enjoy deeply discounted purchasing arrangements with many other
suppliers. This allows us to produce complete systems at very competitive
prices. |
 Expertise and support focused on only 8 top line manufacturers, which offer a wide range of equipment solutions. See [Products] for complete details. |

| History | ||
| In 1976, an engineer and Vice-President of Robbins and
Meyers considered his options. George H. Zimmer was responsible for 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 Springfield, 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. For fourteen months, Daparak's "corporate headquarters" was a small 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. In April 2001, Daparak purchased another Moyno distributorship operating in Western North Carolina and South Carolina by the name of J.D. Mangle and Associates. This synergy of people, inventory and experience allowed Daparak to better position resources for not only the Carolinas, but for all customers. Where the Carolina's were split between two companies for many market leading products, now customers could receive the benefits of one organization to service their needs. Engineers, contractors, and customers from Virginia to South Carolina now enjoyed more efficient and coordinated progress across the many boundaries, job sites, and branch offices with a unified company. Our company logo, with it's green triangle, inside a blue circle-
represents our beginning and specialty even today- pumps. 
Since then, the symbol has evolved some, and several different schematic symbols for different types of pumps have become more common in today's drawings. This generic symbol for pump is also used when the specific pump has yet to be determined. One thing, at least, has not changed- Daparak is still here to make that decision easier.
