Company History

As president of Channel Products Inc., I would like to thank you for your interest in our company. Our company was formed in 1972 by Don Berlincourt and Don Markeson. Mr. Berlincourt has authored 120 technical articles, is the holder of 45 U.S. patents, and is world renown in the field of piezoelectric ceramics. Mr. Markeson is responsible for our MARK model name. Another significant contributor to our success is Carmen Germano, who is well known (and widely published) in the technical area of piezoelectric transducers. Carmen was our Chief Engineer, and remains on active consulting staff to Channel in his retirement.

Channel Products is headquartered in Chesterland, Ohio about 20 miles east of Cleveland, and has a manufacturing facility in Jefferson, Ohio. These two facilities produce a combined 9 million ignitors and ignition controls and 12 million electrode and sensor assemblies per year.

Channel Products, Inc. is a leading design and manufacturing company that supplies electronic and piezoceramic ignitors, gas ignition safety controls, electrodes and sensor assemblies, wire assemblies, and accessories to the gas appliance industry worldwide. Additional products include piezoelectric ceramic materials, piezoelectric transducers, nebulizers, sensors, filters and resonators.

A custom product is our specialty! We have a fully staffed design-engineering group that is capable of developing a product to meet your specific needs. We provide custom application work, modifying our family of "platform" control products to go on your appliance for the most cost-effective and shortest time-to-market solution.

Channel Products Inc. has a sales office in Zhongshan in the province of Guangdong, which is staffed by our bi-lingual Asian sales representative Mr. Kerry Hu. We at C.P.I enjoy a close working relationship with our U.S. customers currently conducting business in China and their Chinese suppliers as well.

Our experience in the electronic, piezoelectric ceramic and plastic fields has positioned us to meet your needs through our state of the art manufacturing capabilities and established relationships with our Chinese suppliers. We look forward to establishing a long-term relationship with you.
