In 1973, Tom Dugle founded Deltec<\/a> to supply specialty sheet metal parts<\/a> to local Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in need of a supplier who could provide the extra touch and care needed to produce their products. This allowed Deltec<\/a> to work hand-in-hand with these companies on special projects, developing better methods to manufacture and improve the overall design and performance of the parts.<\/p>\n

Now with 3rd generation Sheet Metal Fabricator Jason Dugle in charge, Deltec<\/a> uses the same principles his grandfather instilled to work with his customers in the ever competitive laser fabrication<\/a> marketplace. They take pride in taking the time to listen, learn and understand what their customers\u2019 needs are.<\/p>\n

Design-<\/strong> Recently one of Deltec\u2019s <\/a>customers had a need for castings but had a 12 week lead time. The problem was they were awarded the bid with a 6 week delivery. Out of options with the foundry, they contacted Deltec<\/a> to see how they could help. Jason and his team were able to reverse-engineer the casting into sheet metal enclosure and delivered it within a week.<\/p>\n

Adaptability-<\/strong> Unlike your standard Job-Shop, Deltec<\/a> has the ability to take your project from Design to Prototyping and Production. Whether starting from scratch or refining an existing product, they can be there for you. From finishing, powder coating, machining, and welding, Deltec <\/a>has the operations you need on hand to fit your project.<\/p>\n

Quality<\/strong>– An OEM recently came to Deltec<\/a> because their in house operation had issues with weldments failing quality audits and the material losing its appearance. This led to increased costs and missed deadlines to customers. Deltec\u2019s<\/a> engineering department was able to experiment with materials to help improve the performance of their weldment while the finishing department was able to provide an esthetically pleasing look needed for completion.<\/p>\n

As you review the services and capabilities Deltec<\/a> has to offer, you will see that the experienced staff, state of the art facility, and uncompromising commitment to customer satisfaction sets them apart. Whether you have a need for Custom Fabrication, Precision Weldments, or Custom Products<\/a>, let Jason and his staff show you why they are a leading Laser Fabricator in the Midwest.<\/p>\n
