Founded in 1952 as the Ray Johnston Company by Robert Entrop Sr. and Ray Johnston, the business was renamed Northmar, Inc. in 1976 after Johnston's departure. The company was later acquired by Bob Jr., Rick, and Russ Entrop, in January 1991.
Our product offerings encompass electromechanical components and professional audio solutions.
Our industrial manufacturers deliver a diverse range of products designed for transportation, computer peripherals, medical applications, industrial use, and alternative energy sectors.
In the audio market, we specialize in broadcast, studio, touring, live sound, commercial installations, custom home solutions, retail audio, and custom audio/video installations.
To enhance our visibility in the marketplace and maintain our technical expertise, Northmar proudly affiliates with the Electronics Representatives Association (ERA) and other professional trade associations.
Our sales team is structured to provide specialized support, with each agent focusing on specific product lines and accounts.
While each agent manages their own accounts, we operate with full transparency, sharing all significant account activity across the company to ensure seamless service.
We serve a wide territory spanning Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Western Montana, and Alaska.
Our primary markets are concentrated in Western Washington, Oregon, and Western Montana, and secondary markets of Spokane/Spokane Valley, Tri-Cities, Western Idaho, and Anchorage.
We actively engage with the industry through our memberships with the Electronics Representatives Association (ERA), and the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). We also attend a variety of industry trade shows.
