Downeaster - 40 years of Reliability

Renowned New England meteorologist Don Kent founded Downeaster Mfg. Co. in the 1960's with a focus on instruments for the home - wind speed, direction, and barometer. Owned by the Bechard family since 1978, Downeaster was recently sold to Paul Bouchie and Andy Marshalka. Mr. Bouchie and Mr. Marshalka personally invite you to inquire about the exciting new offerings scheduled for 2006. We invite you to enjoy the experience of owning our products!
