The Beginning...
Duracote Corporation was founded in
1947 on the premise of developing and utilizing the new and emerging polymer
technology, which was just starting to be commercialized after WWII. Supplying
new types of impregnated fabrics from its plant in Ravenna, Ohio, the company's
initial products included coated fabrics which were used to form ventilation
ducts in mines. Later, the line expanded into PVC laminated and coated cloth,
which is still to this day used as aircraft utility floor coverings and military
aircraft headliners.Quality and Commitment...
Consistent with the underlying
philosophy of customer service and quality control at Duracote, several key
elements work in harmony to satisfy a variety of needs. Technical leadership is
provided through continuous product improvement, innovation and technical
assistance. Duracote's process and material traceability assures consistent
product quality and performance in the field. As proof that quality is
paramount, Duracote conducts testing and certification in its in-house
laboratory, which has been audited and approved by Defense Supply Center
(Philadelphia), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and commercial
corporations such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Customer Care...
Production efficiency, flexibility
and ship date reliability is assured by the highly trained personnel who produce
Duracote's materials. Sales representatives and customer service specialists
provide responsive personal service for stated needs as well as being effective
for developing solutions to meet unexpected requirements as they arise.
Leading the Industry...
Constant attention to customer needs
and market trends have made Duracote a world leader in the lamination and
coating of industrial and technical textiles; and an established supplier of
choice to clients in a wide variety of industries: automotive, aerospace,
transportation, marine, tent, window treatment, noise-and static-control, tent,
banner, and awning applications.
Continued Growth...
More than 50 years of growth have expanded
the Ravenna facilities into more than three acres under the roof housing manufacturing,
laboratories, warehousing and administrative offices. With its continuing emphasis
on customer service, research and development, superior products, consistent
quality and on-time delivery, Duracote expects to continue its tradition of
growth and excellence well into the future.
