Dataforth Corporation has expanded into a second building, adding 17,000 square feet to the 12,000 square feet at the company’s headquarters location in Tucson, AZ.

Dataforth Corporation has expanded into a second building, adding 17,000 square feet to the 12,000 square feet at the company’s headquarters location in Tucson, AZ. The new facility, at 6230 S. Country Club, Tucson, houses all manufacturing and test operations, as well as the warehouse, shipping and receiving for the company's line of data acquisition and control, signal conditioning and data communication products for industrial applications.

“This additional space gives us tremendous flexibility as Dataforth’s business continues to grow,” says Operations Manager Joel Lohr. “Inside space can be reconfigured as needed and, because we sit on 2-plus acres, there’s plenty of outside space, as well.”

Dataforth’s product lines include more than 1,000 individual products designed to protect measurement and control signals and connected equipment from the degrading effects of noise, transient power surges, internal ground loops, and other hazards found in industrial environments. All three elements of the production process--surface mount, bench assembly and test--now take place in the new building. "Dataforth products are all tested 100 percent twice," added Lohr.

Dataforth’s original building, at 3331 E. Hemisphere Loop, Tucson, remains the home for engineering, sales and marketing, and administrative functions. “We had been renting some additional manufacturing space,” Robert Smith, VP of sales and marketing, explains, “but the time for a permanent expansion had arrived. The new facility is a perfect fit for our needs.” The Dataforth Quality Management System is ISO9001:2008 registered, he added.
