Daniel Company

What Daniel Company does

Daniel Company is a privately held US manufacturer of odor control and air pollution control systems, headquartered at 1939 W 11th Street, Upland, California, with an in-house production facility in the same city. The company designs, engineers, and produces custom-built systems constructed primarily from Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), serving municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities as well as private industrial sites that require corrosion-resistant air exhaust and collection systems. Its product portfolio spans complete treatment systems — BioDAN biological filters, DanADSORB carbon adsorbers, chemical scrubbers with automated pH/ORP metering, and degassifiers/decarbonators — alongside a full line of FRP ductwork, fittings, chemical storage tanks, and proprietary accessories including the AMCA-certified DanELAST bubble-tight dampers, Model 203 conventional dampers, and DanFLEX flexible connectors. Differentiated product features include NSF-61 certification on the DuraWind WS pipe product line (4-inch to 120-inch diameter) and a Mobile Pilot Testing System for site-specific media trials.

The company monetizes through one-time sales of custom-engineered FRP systems and hardware (ductwork, tanks, dampers, fittings manufactured to exact specifications), supplemented by professional engineering services covering system design, technical support, training, and onsite maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a project-bid, engineered-to-order sales motion. Go-to-market combines direct factory sales from the California headquarters for custom and turnkey installations with a US-wide network of approximately 11 regional sales representative firms covering the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Central, and West regions; this channel is targeted at enterprise buyers in municipal utilities and private industrial accounts. Marketing is conducted primarily through association membership and conference participation (WEFTEC, CWEA, NYWEA, WEAT, AMCA, AWWA, AMPP, ASME), with the company website serving as a product and contact reference.
