Deco utilizes standard and custom designed zinc die casting machines and as our company has grown, we have expanded our production capabilities to ensure we can support a broad range of physical requirements. As a result, Deco can tool intricate castings to run with tight tolerances in our wide variety of die-casting machines, giving us the capacity to produce parts as small as several ounces to as large as 8 lbs.
With a legacy of success and prominence in the zinc die casting industry we have a proven history for innovation, reliability, and great value. With over 10 million pounds of zinc alloy processed in our Decorah Iowa facility, only Deco Products can provide such scale to achieve the needed efficiencies, synergies, and value be the best solution for the challenges faced in today’s industries.
Rather than integrating multiple capabilities and materials (zinc, aluminum, magnesium, plastic, etc.) and having diverse but limited support, Deco Products specializes in zinc die casting and provides the most innovative, practical, and all-around best zinc die cast support and solutions. With zinc alloy integral to our history, since 1960, we have developed operational excellence and engineering talent to be innovative and true problem solvers for zinc die casting demands.

Deco Products is not only an industry leader in die casting production it also has the experts to help with die casting part design.
With over 20 engineers and over 400 years of experience, our team can discuss the design options and trade-offs important for your design. It is critical to optimize the design as early as possible.
When designing a new part, our engineering staff works with your engineering team to determine when zinc alloy material is best. We then we help optimize the design for low initial cost and long-term value, considering tool design and life and ongoing long-term quality.
One of the first and key challenges faced by a design engineer is material selection. At times, zinc is not the best choice for a part, but for other times it is a great choice. The following attributes are key benefits of zinc alloy:
Faster production times
Closer tolerances
Thinner wall sections
Tougher in impact and more rigid
Improved machinability / malleable
Better bearing surface
Easier Finishing
Longer Tool Life
Increased haptics (a premium feel)
Contact Deco Products to discuss material selection more!
With over 20 engineers with over 400 cumulative years of experience, your next new product or tool transfer project is in “good hands” with Deco Products.
With tooling transfer projects, our team has seen it ALL! Frequently we can adapt the existing tool to one of our over 100 die casting machines. With so many machines, we have highly diversified options. There are instances when implementation is not easy and our team needs to be “creative” to adapt the current tool while ensuring a rapid, but also reliable solution. Our engineering and tool room professionals are proven to be dependable with many successful tooling transfer implementation projects over many years!

With proper planning, lead-times can be as low as 1 day with our key partners. With this said, our standard lead-times can be as low as 2 weeks for a raw casting.
These rapid lead-times are part of Deco’s commitment to extra capacity and modular operational centers, but also partnering up with our key customers to align our production capacities with customer demands.
Deco Products often provides raw casting, but frequently design requirements require extra “value add” processes. The following list are important processes that Deco Products can provide:
Part trimming
Degating
Tumbling
Buffing
CNC Machining
Powder coating
Corrosion protective plating
Decorative plating
Assembly
Kitting
