NAICS and SIC numerical designations are a commonly used means by which potential customers can seek out likely vendors for the products they need. A person can look through the NAICS or SIC listings and find the designation that most closely matches what they seek, and then use that number to search for a vendor.
SIC codes were particularly helpful before the advent of the internet, and their promulgation through a broad range of industrial directories has kept them relevant. So, while it is vital to sales to maintain a conspicuous web presence, some attention should be given to understanding where one “fits” in these “uniform” classification lists.
Dal-Bac, like virtually any active business concern, does not exactly fit any one coded designation. No single code encapsulates all of our activities, nor do we completely encompass all of the activities ascribed to any single code. We are a little bit of a lot of different codes.
So, we list below (in numerical order) those codes that are, in some meaningful way, pertinent to our business activities.

If you are involved in a search by SIC or NAICS code numbers, be aware that a hit on one of the above listed codes is really only a starting point, but we’ll be happy to explore whether or not there is a fit and thank you for the opportunity. We could probably tenuously justify a good many other codes, but that would only further blur our image, so we’ll leave it at these, for now, and wish you happy hunting.
