Duraline: Engineering Excellence in Industrial Power Solutions Since 1946
Duraline, a division of J.B. Nottingham Co. Inc., has built a legacy of excellence dating back to 1946. Originally established to support the U.S. Navy and shipbuilding industry with reliable, safety-engineered power systems, the company continues to deliver cutting-edge, industrial-grade products from its DeLand, Florida headquarters. With complete in-house manufacturing, Duraline maintains rigorous control over quality, innovation, and compliance, proudly upholding its “Made in the USA” identity.
Company Background & Identity
Over the decades, JBN Duraline has transitioned from distribution to manufacturing—eventually becoming a trusted supplier of high-performance electrical systems for the U.S. Navy and other demanding sectors.
In 2012, Duraline relocated from its original machine shop in New York to its current facility in DeLand, Florida. What began as a modest operation with just three machines has since grown into a thriving production center with over 20 machines in operation. This expansion has significantly increased production capacity, allowing Duraline to fulfill custom orders and meet client demands with speed and precision that outpaces many traditional machine shops.
Key operations such as custom molding and precision machining are performed entirely in-house, reflecting a strong commitment to vertical integration. This self-reliant production model not only ensures quality but also allows Duraline to adapt to customer quickly needs across multiple industries.
Made in the USA – Workforce & Values
Duraline proudly employs a 100% U.S.-based workforce. Every part and component is designed, machined, and assembled in-house at the company’s DeLand, Florida warehouse and manufacturing facility. This commitment not only ensures quality control at every step but also supports American manufacturing and job creation.
