What dci industries does

DCI Industries, operating commercially as DuraCoatings (legal entity DCI DuraCoatings Inc.), is a privately held industrial coatings company founded in 1974 and headquartered at 13920 S. Meridian, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The company provides industrial hard chrome plating, sulfamate nickel plating, and HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) thermal spray coating services, complemented by precision cylindrical grinding, MIG/TIG/stick welding, and metal stripping. Its core technology base consists of multiple plating tanks, rectifiers, robotically controlled HVOF spray booths capable of handling parts up to 27.5 feet long and 12 inches in diameter (including 767-class landing gears), CNC cylindrical and centerless grinding equipment, and in-house environmental reclamation systems that recycle approximately 100 percent of process waste.

The business serves two principal verticals: aviation, where it performs landing gear component repair and overhaul for commercial and private aircraft under FAA Part 145, EASA Part 145, AS9100D/ISO9001, Nadcap, and USAF Landing Gear certifications for customers including Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna/Textron, Embraer, Dassault, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin, and the US Air Force; and oil & gas, where it coats downhole tools, mud motor rotors, progressive cavity pump rotors, artificial lift rotors, frac pump plungers, and valve products. A smaller horizontal industrial segment covers OEM, hydraulic, textile, extrusion, and valve applications.

DCI generates revenue through professional services billed against customer RFQs, with an enterprise field-sales motion targeting aviation and oil & gas buyers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers submit RFQs through the company website and receive estimates, with expedited turnaround available for time-sensitive projects. The company markets itself on an integrated "everything under one roof" service model, an unsurpassed lifetime warranty on all coatings and services, and its nearly 100 percent waste recycling rate. Ownership is private with no disclosed private-equity or parent-company involvement; the management team includes Dennis Glasco (VP Aviation), Craig Smith (VP Operations), Klint Schuster (Sales/Business Development), and Mindy Cole (Sales/Customer Service).
