About Us
DBA is a family business that was built up over several decades by Archie and Shirley Cardinal, and then run for a number of years by their daughter Tina. The firm’s current management team includes Cydney Pedersen, Archie and Shirley’s granddaughter, who represents a third generation at the helm.
Wags have on occasion suggested that “DBA” stands for “Designed By Archie”. Although it’s true that Archie continues to consult on system configurations, the “DBA” in “DBA Silencing” is actually an acoustic acronym related to decibels and the relative loudness of sounds as perceived by the human ear.
DBA provides exhaust systems, air intake, and coolant components for the following industries: mining, logging, and marine. Many of the parts we offer are standard items, but we also solve problems for our clients by developing and manufacturing custom systems.

Customer Testimonial
DBA Silencing is a key supplier for Liebherr Mining Equipment, and has been for decades. LME trucks are equipped with a variety of DBA products, and these include exhaust parts, air intake units, and coolant components. In our experience, the items that DBA manufactures are both high-quality and competitively-priced. The icing on the cake is that I always enjoy dealing with members of the DBA team, as they're knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. I am pleased to offer DBA Silencing my enthusiastic endorsement.
