What DEKO does

DEKO (legal entity DEKO p|s) is a Danish manufacturer and interior contractor specializing in glazed and modular partition systems for office, commercial, healthcare, educational, and institutional buildings. Founded in 1970 in Taastrup, Denmark, the company has grown to approximately 250 employees including 100 skilled carpenters, and describes itself as one of Scandinavia's leading partitioning suppliers and one of Denmark's largest carpentry businesses. Its product portfolio spans 27 SKUs across glazed partitions (DEKO FG family, GV, BK, Tré), mobile partitions (FV, MV series), system partitions (PV, PF), doors (FD, DG, TD, TG, AG, PD), and fire-rated floor glass (HG Fire), with documented performance up to EI 120 fire rating and up to 57 dB sound reduction. Two European Technical Assessments (ETAs) and a CE-labelling first establish DEKO as the most certified European partitioning specialist, supported by CIRCAL aluminium containing 75% recycled content and Environmental Product Declarations.

DEKO operates a hybrid business model combining manufacturing (sold via authorized distributors in 50+ countries, architect specifications through BIM libraries such as RIBA National BIM and NBS Plus, and direct export from regional offices in Dubai, Malaysia, Lithuania, India, and China) with direct contracting services in Denmark, where its in-house carpentry teams execute installation. There are two revenue streams: one-time product sales of modular partition systems, and professional-services revenue from Denmark contractor installation work. Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing. The customer base is enterprise-project-driven and spans automotive OEMs (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz), retail (IKEA, Illums Bolighus), pharmaceutical/financial (Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, Nordea, Saxo Bank), construction (Skanska), and high-profile sustainability projects (TRÆ in Aarhus, KAB-Huset with DGNB Gold, Carlsberg Boiler House dance halls).

In January 2024 DEKO formed a 50/50 joint venture, DEKO North Americas LLP, with Houston-based Marek Brothers LLP — DEKO's entry into the United States, with regional distribution coverage through Texas, Washington DC, Massachusetts, and New York, and a stated ambition of local US production. Additional operational milestones include a 2020 acquisition of a complementary competitor, ISO 9001 (2016) and ISO 45001 (2021) certifications, and the June 2024 launch of the wooden-framed DEKO Tré product line paired with a new Taastrup showroom. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or external funding rounds; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
