Excel Manufacturing, 20409 Prairie St, Chatsworth, CA 91311, US

Our founder Gene DeVandry's 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 DeKing's 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 DeKing's 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. We're 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.
