What Canfield Connector does

Canfield Connector is a privately held US manufacturer of industrial electronic interconnection devices, sensors, timers, and specialty electronics, founded in 1984 in Canfield, Ohio and now operating from a 40,000 sq ft facility in Youngstown, OH. The company's product portfolio centers on DIN 43650 solenoid valve connectors in MINI, ISO, and Sub-Micro sizes (offered as hardwired or fully molded), supplemented by GatorMate Deutsch style mobile connectors, CANFAST M8 and M12 multi-pin round connectors, cylinder proximity sensors, Series EIS inclinometers, Series ETS tilt switches, proportional solenoid drivers, electronic timers (including the Series 5800 Micro Logic Timer), condensate drain valves, and custom assemblies. Canfield pioneered virtually indestructible all-molded solenoid valve connectors and holds multiple patents for connector and electronic device innovation; every product undergoes 100% quality testing prior to shipment and the operation holds ISO 2001:2008 with Design certification earned in 2005.

The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing model with in-house plastic molding and a proprietary surface mount electronics production line, supporting both standard catalog products and a 'Specials are our Standard' custom assembly service. Its target verticals include industrial manufacturing, mobile equipment and transportation, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, chemical processing, energy/solar, medical devices, agriculture, and fluid power, with additional sub-markets such as carwash, packaging, logistics, and heavy duty aftermarket. Marketing and demand generation are run through the company website, monthly newsletter, blog, trade show participation, Facebook, and video content including a factory tour, while distribution is handled via a direct sales team with dedicated sales consultants, a toll-free phone line, and an online quote request form. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-based, and the company offers a CAN-PAK Quick Ship Bulk Packs program for accelerated bulk fulfillment. Canfield reports no institutional investment, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no publicly disclosed headcount or revenue figures, and remains independently operated.
