It all began in the corner of an implement dealership in 1950. Demco (Dethmers Manufacturing Company) was founded by Robert Dethmers back in 1950 as a company providing agricultural fertilizer application equipment. While still being focused on serving the agricultural industry, Demco started exploring new markets in the 1990s, adding trailer components, grain carts, and tow systems to its product line.
Today, Demco is a leader in the agricultural industry. From agriculture and towing to brake manufacturing, Demco continues to produce the best products available without compromise.
Demco has pursued a dream to fill needs, provide solutions, and compete in an existing marketplace. Their tradition of building quality products, employing talented, industrious people, and providing attentive service remains. Putting people first and providing the best customer service is a standard that will never change at Demco.
While technology and the marketplace continue to change, one thing that hasn’t is how they treat company customers at Demco. Providing the most reliable, safest, and performance-driven products are at the forefront of everything they do. Company team uses the phrase “Doing Our Best to Provide You the Best” to describe theircommitment to customers, suppliers, co-workers, and management. They strive for excellence every day and measure success through customer satisfaction.
Company is committed to continuous growth through manufacturing quality products for the agricultural, RV towing, and trailer markets. Demco towing products incorporate innovative design elements, sturdy construction, and a larger amount of standard features than the competition, while also being easier to use.
The Demco brand name is well-known and respected in the RV towing industry – quite often, when talking about pulling their vehicle with a tow dolly, people use the term “Kar Kaddy” as a synonym to this type of equipment, which is the name of an elaborated Demco tow dolly. Many of Demco tow bar designs have revolutionized the RV industry. One of their industry-first ideas was making a tow bar with each arm moving independently of each other. Currently, Demco offers three tow bar series (Commander, Dominator, Escali-Bar), with all of them offering the patented Easy Trigger Release feature for easy hooking up and disconnecting.
Demco base plates are designed with safety as the first priority in mind, but there's also one more undeniable advantage to them: they are accessible but not visible. They won't protrude, hang, or rise, retaining the beauty of your tough vehicle, while also providing a reliable foundation for attaching your tow bar. Demco hitches and towing equipment are available in a wide range of options, from economical yet dependable solutions to those giving you the greatest peace of mind. In the company's product catalog, there are lots of industry-only units, including the only 32° coupler on the trailer market. Trailer components by Demco are widely used in the rental segment and trusted by some of the biggest names in trailer manufacturing, so you can't go wrong with any of the brands products.
