DECCO

What DECCO does

DECCO is a fourth-generation Belgian family-owned textile manufacturer, founded in 1954 by Germaine De Dier and currently led by Nicolas de Cremer (joined 2018). The group is organized across three wholly-owned entities: Adventureland (commercial/logistics operations based in Erembodegem, Belgium), DECCO (workwear production in Akouda, Tunisia), and BCF Confection (knitwear and baby-textile production in Sousse, Tunisia). The Belgian headquarters handles customer engagement, logistics, and customs, while roughly 350 production employees in Tunisia operate nine production lines covering cutting, sewing, finishing, and packaging.

The company's product portfolio spans industrial workwear (work pants, coveralls, jackets for construction, food industry, and automotive sectors), medical clothing (scrubs for healthcare facilities), knitwear (T-shirts, polos, sweaters meeting EN standards for high-visibility, antistatic, and UV protection), GOTS-certified baby textiles (bibs, hooded towels, sleep sacks, baby carriers, slings), nightwear and lingerie, and sportswear. Service modules include product development (sourcing, pattern making, technical documentation), flexible production runs from small to large quantities, and full logistics/customs handling from Tunisia to European destinations, with stated delivery within one week post-production.

DECCO sells exclusively to European B2B customers through direct engagement and quote-based pricing (customers specify order quantity, design, budget, and delivery timeline). The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, GOTS, and Fairwear certifications, positioning it for institutional, organic, and ethically-sourced textile procurement. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the business is privately held with no external investors or funding rounds reported.
