Del Tech Associates

Del Tech Associates is a manufacturer's rep firm & distributor founded in 1971. We sell mainly to the printed circuit fabrication and electronic assembly industries. We cover the states of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The company was founded by Fred Delnevo in 1971. Fred started calling on printed circuit fabricators & general industria... l accounts originally and the business started to grow. By 1974 there was a need for more salesman so Len Bernier, (a former boss and current friend of Fred), joined the company. Len was an electrical engineer and got the company into electronic assembly equipment. He came with an impressive pedigree in both electronics and management. His designs of classified anti-radar tubes were still in the B52's that flew over us on our sales trips to Wichita back in the early '80s. Shortly after Len started, Russ Delnevo and then Stewart Delnevo, (Fred's sons) joined Del Tech. Both Len and Fred took Russ and me under their wing to teach us the ropes of sales and the industry. There were many late nights and long discussions at motel rooms on the road. I learned a lot from them, about business and life. This was a time of great memories. Len left the company in 1983 to take a position with Northern Telecom. He kept in touch and we met frequently at trade shows, in Springfield and Nashville to discuss industry trends and just visit. He continued to give us direction and play a vital roll as an advisor on industry trends and point us in the right direction. The directions Len gave Del Tech were vital, valuable and accurate. Len was based out of Hendersonville, TN and lived with his wife Sherry there until he died in 10/1996.Read More
