Our focus on the future. Our commitment to being first with technology, and the products, that will lead the market into tomorrow. With roots in two companies–Mall Tool Company and Master Consolidated–DESA today is the synthesis of a succession of innovative product ideas, improvements and strategic acquisitions spanning some 80 years. Founded in the 1920s, Mall Tool Company pioneered the development and introduction of gas and electrically operated power tools. In 1956, Mall Tool was acquired by the Remington Arms Corporation and renamed the Remington Power Tool Division. In, 1969, a group of entrepreneurs purchased the Remington Power Tool Division and named the company DESA Industries. New products were added and, within six years, sales grew fourfold. This rapid growth caught the attention of AMCA International, which acquired DESA in 1975. Master Consolidated played a leading role in the introduction of portable forced air heating during the 1950s. Later acquired by the Koehring Company under the Atomaster name in 1975. In 1980, Koehring, and the Atomaster Division, became part of the AMCA family. In, 1981, as a result of the strong consumer and market compatibility between Atomaster and DESA, both operations were combined by AMCA into its new Consumer Products Division. In March 1985, Consumer Products Management purchased the assets of the Division and formed DESA International. During the intervening decades DESA has grown rapidly through a combination of internal product development and the acquisition of complementary zone heating and specialty tool product lines. Included in those acquisitions was the Heath/Zenith brand of motion and security lights and wireless doorbell technology in 1998. The Firewerks Log brand from Wade Ceramics as well as the All-Pro and Universal outdoor heating brands of Scheu Products Company in 2004. By growing its brands and markets, the new twenty-first century DESA continues to make strides into the future while maintaining a link to the roots of its past.
