Our
founder Gene DeVandrys experience with screw machines began while
building munitions in Detroit during World War II. In 1950, he moved
to California and worked in screw machine shops until he started DeKing
Screw Products in 1964.
Gene
worked hard to build his business with an excellent reputation for quality
and delivery. His son, Geno DeVandry, also worked in the family business,
learning the screw machine industry from the ground up. In 1972, when
Eugene was hospitalized for heart surgery, Geno found himself in charge
of DeKing Screw Products for the first time and was forced to quickly
learn the business side of the screw machine industry. He found that
he had a natural talent for running the business. Today, Geno's oldest
son and Gene's grandson, Aaron DeVandry, is working with DeKing - continuing
the business through a third generation.
Geno
started in 1972 with eight machines and ten employees. Using his own
ingenuity, and surrounded by talented and loyal craftsmen, Geno was
able to increase his business. In 1989, the end of the Cold War that
brought freedom to Eastern Europe also brought an end to a large part
of DeKings defense business. Geno responded to this challenge
by using his excellent quality standards and reputation to replace the
lost business with commercial work. Today, 90 percent of DeKings
products are shipped to commercial customers nationwide.
The
1990s saw DeKing Screw Products acquire newer and faster equipment to
support its ever-growing commercial customer base. Today, DeKing has
more than fifty satisfied customers.
In the summer of
2002, DeKing Screw Products moved into an 18,000 sq. ft. facility in
Chatsworth, California, just a few miles away from Burbank.
Besides doubling
the machine capacity, we have added eight faster, more reliable Acme
Gridley screw machines.
DeKing Screw Products
now has seventeen screw machines, six CNC lathes, four machine centers,
and two EDM wire machines. The additional machines will benefit our
customers with even better turnaround times for their products... proving
that customer service and satisfaction is our top priority.
All
of this is achieved using state-of-the-art equipment combined with modern,
efficient manufacturing methods. It all adds up to outstanding
customer service at DeKing, says Geno DeVandry, president. Were
constantly upgrading our equipment and improving our processes."
At DeKing, ISO 9000 and Lean Manufacturing are the big reasons why we
see constant change and improvement.
Loyal
employees make the DeKing difference. Look at any successful business,
large or small, and you'll find a dedicated team of talented employees.
Our key supervisors, Luis, Eliseo, and Benji, have each spent over 25
years at DeKing taking pride in providing our customers with consistent
top-level service.
DeKing also provides
in-house training in a classroom setting for its employees. This training
was started over a decade ago and continues today. Every employee at
DeKing has utilized this service, and the training is one of the reasons
why the employees have remained with the company so long.
Transforming millions
of pounds of raw metal into millions of high quality precision parts
each year takes talent, experience, and dedication. Geno DeVandry and
his team of over 35 employees respond to customers' needs with enthusiasm
rarely seen in business today.
