About Don Wolf:
Don Wolf & Associates, Inc. was born in 1983 from the fertile mind of its creator, Donald M. Wolf, Sr. Don worked for 21 years with ITT General Controls in the sales department and was, at the end, their western regional sales manager and personally responsible for over 4 million dollars of sales in his own section of that territory. He left GC to pursue his own dreams and, with the knowledge he gained there on solenoid valves and their applications, started Don Wolf & Associates with one customer, one principal, a typewriter and a phone.
The company had its modest beginning in the den and spare bedroom of his house in Woodland Hills, CA. His oldest son, Mark Wolf came to the business as the first "associate" in 1985 to help the business "just till he got it going" (Mark is still there and is now the President). Associate and son number two, Don Wolf, Jr., came on board in 1987 to work the accounting and the paper mill and is currently the Vice President.
The Northridge earthquake in 1994 forced the boys to move into a real office in Woodland Hills, bringing Don Sr’s wife Joan in to handle the phones and clerical work. Mark’s wife, Debbie later took over that job when Don and Joan both took their retirement in 2005. In November 2006 they moved to where they are today in Chatsworth, CA.
Since the move, they have upped the sales staff to include additional outside salespeople to cover their product lines throughout the state of California, Southern Nevada and Hawaii.
Don’s original vision was to create a company that would service the OEM who used solenoid valves and other components for automation. He wanted to "make it easy for the customer to do business". This credo continues today and the company has expanded their product lines to include analyzers for indoor air quality, chemicals and particles in ambient air and exhaust gases.
