Zauderer Associates, Inc. was established by Charles Zauderer in 1954 in the state of New York. Originally, Mr. Zauderer and two associates provided sales coverage and engineering assistance to manufacturers in metro New York and Long Island, Lower Connecticut and upper New Jersey. The company has since grown to become a multi-man manufacturers’ representative agency covering all of the United States east of the Mississippi River and southern Canada for most products offered, but also provides sales coverage for some products throughout all of North America.
Zauderer Associates, Inc. has remained committed to the values, ethics, and commitment to excellent customer service that was paramount to the founder, Charles Zauderer.
