Randy Mansfield, the National Sales Manager of Desco Manufacturing, shared valuable insights into the company’s surface preparation tools during the opening night of the AMPP 2024 Conference. Desco Manufacturing, based in Southern California, has been a leading player in the industry for over 60 years, offering a comprehensive range of tools designed to improve the efficiency and safety of surface preparation.
Low vibration and dust containment equipment
One of the most standout features of Desco’s surface preparation equipment is their focus on low vibration technology. According to Mansfield, Desco’s needle guns, scarifiers, and die grinders are engineered to reduce vibration, allowing operators to use them for extended periods without experiencing hand fatigue. This is especially important in industrial environments, where workers often use these tools for hours at a time.
In addition to reducing vibration, Desco tools also prioritize dust control, thanks to the fact that its products feature systems that prevent particles from escaping into the environment, offering benefits for both health and the environment. This commitment to safety and sustainability distinguishes Desco from many of its competitors, who often neglect dust control on their tools.

Made in the USA: Quality and durability
Although the low-vibration technology isn’t proprietary, the company distinguishes itself by being the direct manufacturer of its tools, allowing it complete control over quality and durability. Furthermore, other companies manufacture their tools abroad, while Desco focuses on offering U.S.-made products, which highlights the quality of its products and supports local industry.
A Longstanding presence at AMPP
Desco Manufacturing has been an integral part of the AMPP Conference for many years and Mansfield, who has personally attended the event for over five years, mentioned how important the conference is for the company to stay connected with the industry and showcase its latest products. Desco’s consistent presence at AMPP 2024 demonstrates the commitment to not only providing high-quality tools, but also contributing to the growth and development of the surface preparation industry.
