Celebrating 70 Years of Success
.png)
A Legacy of Service & Innovation
Duncan-Parnell's journey began in 1946 when Charles Duncan, a WWII veteran, used his wartime pay and card winnings to start Duncan Printmakers, a blueprint shop focused on drafting graphics, photographic reproduction, and surveying equipment. Renamed Duncan-Parnell in 1974, the company has thrived thanks to a foundation of exceptional customer service and “even-handed dealing,” as credited by CEO Dan Duncan.
Mark Duncan, President, continues this legacy by fostering lifelong relationships built on value and delivering cutting-edge solutions for surveyors and mappers. Offering a diverse range of products and services, including industry-leading Trimble solutions, Duncan-Parnell remains committed to innovation and customer success.
Today, with 14 retail locations and 138 employees, we’re proud of our rich history and even more excited to shape the future, helping our customers succeed every step of the way.
