David Hatch has served the New England electronics industry for over 30 years. He started his career at a startup company, PinTek. The founder discovered an ingenious idea and approach to dramatically increase I/O density in a traditional IDC connector system. It required patenting and designing a new connector series and David immersed himself into all facets of the business, from design to full production and operations of the business. The product was successfully adopted by the industry, and in a few short years was acquired by Augat, Inc.
David’s next interconnect project involved collaborating with an inventor and mechanical engineer, Bud Noyes, from Honeywell Information Systems. Bud had an idea to develop a new connector cable product line called “Round to Flat” cable, combining round and flat cable technology with standard and high-density connectors. This customized technique utilized round twisted pair cable with custom flat IDC terminations. Key manufacturers started utilizing the technology, and an additional version emerged utilizing flat cable in round jacketing that was produced industry wide.
Working closely with engineers on interconnect solutions led David to his career as a manufacturer’s representative. David expanded his product knowledge and sales skills working with three prominent manufacturer’s rep firms in New England: Naton Associates, Focus Sales, and Selmark Associates. In 1995, David launched two successive rep companies, Champion Sales and Hatch Manufacturing Solutions. David was a major contributor to the success that Fourstar Connections experienced, spanning a 25+ year collaboration, prior to their acquisition.
David has successfully developed a reputation as a trusted advisor and solution provider for technical interconnect solutions and electro-mechanical products and services. His experience includes contract manufacturing, custom metal fabrication, precision machining, power supplies, custom magnetics, printed circuit boards, and a wide array of interconnect solutions, including box build and system integration.
David would love to discuss with you the possibilities for your next electronic manufacturing project.
