What DCT Cleaning does
DCT Cleaning (legal entity DCT Czech s.r.o.) is a privately-held Czech industrial manufacturer founded in 2001 by David Joura that produces complete cleaning solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry. Its portfolio spans three integrated pillars: (1) cleaning chemistries—Decotron water-based fluids and Proton alcohol-based solvents, both customizable to customer substrates and compliant with RoHS and REACH SVHC; (2) cleaning machines—stainless steel InJet spray-in-air systems (CD, CRD, CRRD, TWIN, 2PR, TRIPLE configurations), AirJet three-chamber maintenance systems for reflow ovens and wave soldering equipment, and Sonix ultrasonic systems for conformal-coating removal; and (3) process control—the CVA Concentration & Volume Analyzer plus Traceability ONLINE and OFFLINE software with PLC-ready barcode reader support and CSV/XML output for industry traceability requirements. The company sells 100% responsibility for cleaning-process functionality across stencil cleaning, PCB/PCBA post-solder cleaning, conformal-coating removal, and maintenance cleaning applications, with named industrial references including Continental, Vitesco, Schaeffler, Marelli, SEHO, Celestica, Flex, Foxconn, Samsung, Panasonic, Philips, Honeywell, and Valeo.
Headquartered in Boskovice, Czech Republic, with a billing entity registered in Černá Hora and a wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary (DCT Electronic Cleaning Sdn Bhd), DCT operates a sales-led and channel-partner go-to-market. The company employs roughly 100 people, has served more than 400 customers in over 30 countries across more than 15 years, and reaches 52 countries through a distributor network supplemented by 15 democenters (in Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, UK, Hungary, Poland, Spain, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Turkey, Mexico, and the USA) and regional technical sales managers in the USA, Tunisia, South Africa, and Serbia. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of cleaning machines, consumable chemistry (the Decotron and Proton fluid lines plus antifoam, DI water, ESD wipes, and manual cleaning sprays), process-control software, and accessories such as External, 1PR, and 2PR filtration systems; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Commercial activity is founder- and co-owner-led (David Joura as CEO, Zbyněk Zukal as CSO and co-owner), with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A, or public listing.
