Karl Dungs Manufacturing Facility Tour Details

Karl Dungs, Inc, a subsidiary of Karl Dungs GmbH & Co. KG, was established in 1997 as the Dungs sales channel for the North American market. Dungs brought into the North American market combustion controls for gas-fired applications that included the DMV family of safety shutoff valves, gas and air pressure switches, regulators, and other accessory items required for safe combustion. Most recently, Karl Dungs, Inc. took over sales channel responsibility for Central and South America; Now, the subsidiary handles the entire Americas region.

During the early years, Dungs USA primarily focused on low temperature air heating applications, which included automotive paint finishing, textiles, and food.

Dungs modular products quickly became accepted in these low-temperature applications as the product of choice and is considered the standard of the industry still today.Dungs is widely known in the low-temperature industrial heating market for their compact modular assemblies. These assemblies provide all of the pressure, flow, and safety requirements of a gas train in a modular form saving precious space and overall cost for the customer.

Recently, Dungs expanded their facility in Blaine, Minnesota, to allow for more space for larger systems. This allows them to provide full gas train packages with wiring and all necessary controls fully factory tested before being shipped to the customer.
