DECC History

DECC was started in the basement of Evert Mellema’s bicycle repair shop in 1964. Challenged by a friend to figure out a way to prevent the selector pin in jukeboxes from sticking, Evert utilized a dry film lubricant, a crudely made vibratory machine and a $15 oven to solve DECC’s first ever customer problem with a custom coating application.

Soon after, Evert and his brother Don (DECC’s current owner’s father) bought an old building on Wallen Avenue and incorporated in 1964. They named the business “DECC” for Don, Evert, their father, Chet, and their brother, also named Chet.

Today, DECC offers an extensive range of industrial coating services, such as chemical resistant coatings, high temperature resistant coatings, rubber bonding adhesives, corrosion protective coatings, FDA approved coatings, and many others…including dry film lubricants.

Over the years, we have focused on innovation, quality, and process development. With over a decade of zero non-conformances found during external ISO audits, The DECC Company strives to provide our customers with the best coating solution and application for a specific part and performance requirement while meeting the most demanding quality standards.
