Company History

DF Countryman was founded by Donald F Countryman in 1958 as a specialized representative and stocking distributor servicing the electrical and OEM Industries in Minnesota, and surrounding states. At that time, the company took pride in a very high tech client base, including companies such as Honeywell, CDC, and 3M.

In 1971 DF Countryman was introduced to the rapidly growing Broadband Cable Industry with the addition of Gilbert Engineering products, a premier line of coaxial connectors. This venture into the cable television industry proved to be a great success. The company then began to acquire other product lines to further expand into this growing industry.

In the following years DF Countryman had established itself as a leading distributor for Broadband Telecommunications products in the Midwest. Due to Its knowledge base, DF Countryman then grew to become one of the foremost suppliers to colleges, universities, independent school districts, hospitals, municipalities and private cable companies supporting Broadband and HFC Networks.

Throughout almost half a century DF Countryman has demonstrated its resolve in being on the forefront of the always ever expanding communications industry. Expanding operations by opening a sales office and distribution center in San Antonio, Texas has given the company the opportunity to continue expansion in the Midwest and grow nationally.
