In 2012, ROSS CONTROLS, a developer of pneumatic and hydraulic valves, control systems, and safety products for the fluid power industry, acquired Detroit Coil Company (DECCO). The name of the company was then changed to ROSS DECCO, maintaining the highly recognized DECCO brand and trade name.
Detroit Coil Company, or DECCO, was founded in 1912 to supply high-quality coils and solenoids to a variety of industries and industry-specific applications. Detroit Coil Company, a family operated business, was known for providing electro-mechanical actuators to Ford Motor Company for starter solenoids in Ford’s flagship vehicles, the Model A and Model T. The DECCO trademark quickly became recognized as the representative for high-quality industrial grade solenoids and state-of-the-art coil technology.
