DECCO® – Over 100 Years of Leadership

The company 1900

Known as Detroit Coil Company, or DECCO® , the company was founded in 1912 to supply high-quality coils and solenoids to a variety of industries and industry-specific applications. Detroit Coil Company, a family operated business, was known for providing electro-mechanical actuators to Ford Motor Company for starter solenoids in Ford’s flagship vehicles, the Model A and Model T. The DECCO® trademark quickly became recognized as the representative for high-quality industrial grade solenoids and state-of-the-art coil technology. The company developed into an international supplier of laminated solenoids with a subsidiary in the United Kingdom and manufacturing facilities in Michigan.

DECCO® Becomes Employee Acquired

The company 2000

In the early 2000's, the Oil Immersed and Air Packaged solenoids demonstrated DECCO® ability to develop products for a broad range of different applications in a variety of industries. As this family owned business matured, several spin-off companies were developed, and ownership of the parent company was transferred to an employee-based management group. Late in the decade, the company was tested by challenging market and economically unstable times.
