Davis-Standard, LLC Announces Addition of Employees from Harrel Acquisition


(Pawcatuck, Conn.) - The Extrusion Systems Group of Davis-Standard, LLC is announcing the addition of three key employees from the former Harrel, Incorporated of Norwalk, Connecticut. Davis-Standard announced the acquisition of Harrel in October, and operations have since moved to Davis-Standard's headquarters in Pawcatuck, Connecticut.

David Madar has become Product Manager-Medical Tubing for North and South America. After beginning as a technician, Madar held a variety of positions including Quality Control Manager and Director of Operations before being named President in 2007. In these positions, Madar oversaw the test department, sales department and all day-to-day operations. Prior to his 33 years at Harrel, he attended Norwalk Technical College. He can be contacted via e-mail at dmadar@davis-standard.com or by telephone at 860-599-6145.

Michael Madar has become Inside Sales Coordinator for the Harrel product line. His responsibilities include both sales and the logistics of repairs for Harrel equipment. A graduate of Quinnipiac University in 2005, he has been with Harrel since 2006 handling spare parts sales, repairs and billing. He can be contacted at mmadar@davis-standard.com or by telephone at 860-599-6155.

Joshua Schwartz has been appointed Consultant to support the Harrel product line, including service on installed equipment. His responsibilities also include setting up facilities at Davis-Standard to manufacture and test Harrel controllers, and writing software for new controllers. He was formerly the Vice President of Digital Engineering at Harrel. In his 39 years with the company, he was involved in the design of electrical cabinets, writing software, procedures and customer operating manuals for controllers, and the electrical and electronic design of proprietary controllers for Harrel. Schwartz has both a Bachelors and Masters of Science from MIT in Massachusetts. He can be reached at jschwartz@davis-standard.com or by telephone at 860-599-6165.

Davis-Standard will continue to offer the existing Harrel line, best known for world-class technology for producing close tolerance medical tubing. This includes the closed loop TUBETROL® system, which utilizes tight tolerance closed loop control of both outside diameter and tubing thickness, as well as a fully integrated extrusion line for bump or taper tubing. Most notably, Harrel offers an alternate polymer system that can produce continuous tube with compositions varying from 100 percent of one polymer to 100 percent of another polymer. This system has been especially beneficial in demanding medical tubing applications to create catheter products with unique design features. Davis-Standard will have this technology available for demonstration at its Technical Center in Pawcatuck.
