Manufacturer

Dethmers Mfg Co

<p>Dethmers Manufacturing Company, founded in 1964, has built a reputation for producing reliable towing and trailer equipment for professional and recreational use. Starting with Robert Dethmers, who began as a blacksmith and ran an implement dealership before shifting to building agricultural equipment, the company evolved into a trusted manufacturer serving diverse transportation needs. Operating under the Demco brand name, Dethmers has maintained a commitment to engineering practical solutions for vehicle mobility and cargo management.</p> <h3>Engineering Heritage and Product Innovation</h3> <p>In the 1980s, during the Farm Crisis, Demco diversified by creating the Kar Kaddy, demonstrating the company's ability to adapt to market demands while maintaining manufacturing excellence. This innovation marked a turning point that expanded Dethmers' product portfolio beyond agricultural applications. The company further grew by acquiring businesses like Maurer Manufacturing and adding new products, including 5th-wheel hitches and braking systems, establishing a comprehensive range of towing solutions.</p> <p>Today, Dethmers Manufacturing specializes in components that facilitate safe vehicle towing and equipment transport. Their <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-spare-tire-hoist-20541">spare tire hoists</a> provide reliable tire storage and retrieval systems for trucks and trailers, while their <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-winch-1240">winches</a> deliver dependable pulling power for recovery and loading applications. The company's <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-tow-bar-1200">tow bars</a> reflect decades of experience in creating durable connections for flat-towing vehicles behind motorhomes and other towing platforms.</p> <h3>Family Ownership and Manufacturing Standards</h3> <p>Dethmers remains family-owned and is led by Bob Koerselman, Kevin Ten Haken, and James Koerselman, ensuring continuity in the company's operational philosophy. The leadership continues to uphold the company's values, focusing on innovation, relationships, and community. This family-centered approach translates into consistent product quality and a manufacturing process that prioritizes functional design over unnecessary complexity.</p> <p>The company's product line reflects a practical understanding of what vehicle owners and fleet operators require from towing equipment. Whether securing spare tires beneath a trailer deck, recovering stuck vehicles with mechanical advantage, or establishing rigid connections for flat-towing configurations, Dethmers Manufacturing components are engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses of regular use. The brand's longevity in the competitive towing equipment market demonstrates its ability to deliver products that meet real-world performance expectations across commercial and recreational applications.</p>
