M I S S I O N

As manufacturers’ representatives, DSA are your local technical salespeople. We believe that the breadth of capabilities we represent will help you to identify the most appropriate source for your product needs. And we may be able to suggest alternative technologies which result in cost savings or product improvements. David Schnur Associates is not a broker or distributor - our sales, engineering and advocacy services come at no cost to our customers.

We take greatest pride in the many long-term relationships we have maintained with our customers, many of whom have brought us along from one company to the next (and the next, and the next . . . .) Many of our principals have also grown with us over many years, and we are grateful for their loyalty and support.

Following a career in new product development, technical sales and sales management, David Schnur founded DSA in 1978. Holding a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Industrial and Management Engineering from Columbia University, Dave focused on development of silicone rubber and advanced adhesive products before his sales and sales management career with Permacel, Johnson & Johnson and Advance Electrical Sales.

David Schnur Associates initially focused on the electrical, electronics and aerospace markets in California, but quickly became a significant source of products to the burgeoning medical device industry. We have exhibited at MD&M West in Anaheim since 1987. Harriet Schnur’s role quickly expanded to encompass her current administrative and financial duties, and DSA grew over time to its current nine offices. While there have been changes over the years, the typical DSA rep has worked with us for 6 years.

Many thanks to our current customers; welcome to those of you we haven’t yet met. And our thanks for reading all the way through!
