What Dust Control Technologies does

Dust Control Technologies, Inc. (DCT) is a privately held manufacturer and distributor of fugitive dust control and material handling equipment founded in October 1998 by Dave Goff in Vancouver, Washington. The company supplies engineered systems to the mining and bulk material handling industries, with primary product categories including Dry Fog Dust Suppression Systems (independently rated at 98.28% efficiency for transfer point dust control), Industrial Wind Fences (WeatherSolve partnership), CDC Jet Foggers (exclusive North American distribution), InLine Wet Scrubbers, Nederman baghouses, NordFab ducting, WEBA Flow Control Chutes, DuroVac industrial vacuum systems, custom conveyor covers and enclosures, facility wash down systems, and industrial coatings and wear products. DCT combines in-house engineered solutions with a multi-vendor distribution portfolio spanning exclusive and non-exclusive partner relationships, complemented by hands-on supervision and turnkey installation services.

The company operates through direct enterprise sales from its Vancouver, WA headquarters and a satellite office in Gillette, WY (serving Powder River Basin coal operations), supported by an international representative network covering the USA, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Turkey, South Africa, and Europe. DCT monetizes through hardware sales (equipment and distributed product lines), professional services (turnkey installation, supervision, training), and custom manufacturing. Its customer base spans surface and underground mining operations, bulk material processing facilities, and coal-fired power generation plants, addressing regulatory compliance, explosion risk mitigation, equipment wear reduction, and worker safety. Cumulative team experience exceeds 50 years in mining and bulk material handling.

DCT deliberately maintains a small internal headcount (11-50 employees) while leveraging a broad support network of engineering houses, major mining companies, and independent service partners. Marketing relies on its website, industry association memberships (MSHA, NDSC, Rocky Mountain Coal Mining Institute), and long-standing reputation rather than paid digital channels. The company has not raised institutional capital and operates as a closely held corporation; Troy Lehner serves as President, with Natalie Starke managing billing and bookkeeping.
