In 1921, the company began selling wholesale parts for automobile service industry, adding crystal radios by 1926 and moving into a distribution capacity by signing with radio manufacturer Philco. Consumer appliances such as refrigerators, washers, vacuum cleaners, and ranges were added to the company’s offerings. The company was renamed D&H Distributing on November 8, 1929.[5] By the 1950s, D&H grew along with the boon in both post-World War II kitchen appliance sales and the advent of the television set.[6]

In 1973, D&H established its Electronics Specialty Products Division. By the late seventies, the company entered the video-gaming market with the addition of Atari. As the 1980s approached, D&H licensed products from Texas Instruments, Packard Bell, Commodore Computers and Panasonic Printers, and expanded its consumer electronics linecard to form the distributor’s current Computer Products Division.

In 2007, the company expanded outside the US with a Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.[7] In 2018, D&H announced its intent to purchase 275 acres of property in Lower Swatara Township, Pennsylvania to build a new distribution hub.[8]
