Deco Products Company acquires a South Carolina company to expand its share of the zinc die cast market

Decorah's Deco Products Company is purchasing the assets of Mumford Metal Casting of South Carolina. MMCSC operated numerous 4-slide miniature zinc die casting machines. The sale of MMCSC allows Mumford to focus on materials other than zinc in their other facilities, while Deco's purchase of MMCSC's assets allows it to expand its capabilities and capacity. With the acquisition of MMCSC, Deco will have over 100 die cast machines ranging from the 4-slide machines through conventional 500 ton machines. The purchase of Mumford Metals further increases Deco Products capabilities for comprehensive zinc die casting solutions. "The additional equipment for smaller high precision castings will complement Deco's current established processes for medium and larger castings," per Dave Magner, Director of Sales and Marketing. "The acquisition is also expected to provide more design and manufacturing options for our customers and additional solutions for optimal performance and cost across their entire zinc casting requirements." Deco Products CEO Chris Storlie says the acquisition is part of Deco's strategic growth plan as the company continues to grow its share in the zinc casting market. "This acquisition will provide positive benefits to all Deco stakeholders from customers, employees, vendors, to the local community, as well as the owners." Deco is in the process of moving the equipment from South Carolina to Decorah. Deco Products has been in operation since 1960. It is the largest standalone zinc die caster in the USA. In Decorah, Iowa, Deco's 200 employees work in production, engineering and other support areas. For more information on Deco Products, visit their website.
