Dee Concrete Accessories

What Dee Concrete Accessories does

Dee Concrete Accessories (legal entity: dee Concrete Accessories II) is a privately held US manufacturer of steel concrete forming systems for horizontal concrete placement, founded in 1956 and operating from a single plant in Norridge, Illinois. The company produces a comprehensive line of steel forms — flatwork, curb and gutter, high curb, paving, seawall and marine, plus custom categories including super flat, tilt-up, reversible tilt-up, rehab, and foundation form sets — alongside accessories such as cold-rolled nail stakes, patented form pins, stake pullers, hold down brackets, connector bolts, and dowels. All products are 100% US-manufactured from domestically sourced steel, and the company is the exclusive maker of cold-rolled steel nail stakes with a patented chamfered ring design delivering 2–3× longer life than competitor hot-rolled pins.

Dee generates revenue through one-time hardware sales of forms and consumable/semi-durable accessories, with pricing quoted directly rather than published online. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales anchored by a toll-free sales line (1-800-245-1333), supplemented by listing on GSA Advantage, DHS Advantage, and Fed Mall under MAS Schedule 51 / SIN 105 002 for federal IDIQ procurement. The customer base is concentrated in US government buyers — Navy SeaBees, Air Force Red Horse, Army Corps of Engineers, Army Engineering Brigades, and municipal/county public works departments — with a secondary commercial and residential contractor segment. The firm maintains the largest US repository of public works curb and gutter profile drawings as a specification-setting reference asset for public works buyers. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees and no revenue figures are publicly disclosed, consistent with a small, founder- or family-controlled specialty manufacturer.
