About Us

History & Founders

DWD was founded in 1974 by Winston Chin (international marketer) and David Wilhelm (mechanical engineer). Led by Chin’s global vision, new business was sought across the seas, from the Gulf of Mexico to South America, Indonesia and the Coast of Africa.

DWD’s mission was to focus on fulfilling the growing need for explosion-proof and corrosion resistant equipment for saliferous, offshore applications. Over time, Wilhelm’s business acumen and Chin’s targeted marketing took the business from a 2000-square-foot facility to over 60,000 square feet of multiple facilities.

Current Management
