Lake Center Switch Company established Deco Products. We began primarily as an automotive supplier of dimmer switches and other electronics. The die casting operations moved to Decorah, where we produced die castings, assemblies, and a line of hose clamps.
In 1984, the Henderson and Charles families took full ownership of Deco Products. Steering the company towards serving a diverse range of industries beyond automotive.
Today, we are proud to work with third and fourth generation owners. Deco Products maintains the family-owned spirit that has been a cornerstone of our success.
“Our ongoing accomplishments are founded on our fine employees and our commitment to continued family ownership” stated owner Andy Charles.
Our first employee, Lew Storlie, managed Deco for 50 years until his retirement in 2010. His son, Chris Storlie, took over as General Manager. In 2019, the company named Chris CEO, and he continues to lead Deco Products.
