Desco

History

Desco Industries' official company profile traces the name to Delta Electrical Specialty Company, incorporated in 1956. Its first product was the Circuitracer continuity and voltage tester. In 1979, Desco Industries, Inc. was established as the parent organization, and the Desco name subsequently became one of the organization's ESD-control brands. The official history describes a product expansion from early electrical testing into a broad program of grounding, monitoring, packaging, ionization, and static-control equipment.

Current Desco technical and calibration pages connect that history directly to the manuals in this catalog. They provide documentation and procedures for combo testers, continuous monitors, static-field meters, surface-resistance kits, monitor calibration units, and ionizers, and describe NIST-traceable calibration services for supported equipment. This draft therefore treats Desco as an active brand rather than assuming that the original 1956 corporation remains the present legal entity. It also avoids assigning one headquarters to a brand presented within a multi-brand manufacturing organization.
