Corporate History

DECRA founder Lou Fisher hatched the idea for his company based on the observation that English World War II aircraft hangers were protected from rust and corrosion due to the use of bitumen paint. In 1954 he acquired the rights to manufacture bitumen paint outside the UK and registered Decramastic as a trademark. In 1957 the company, based in New Zealand, produced its first bitumen coated roof tile. In 2000 the company opened an office dedicated to serving the African market. In the United States DECRA operates out of a 104,000 square foot facility in Corona, CA, and has warehouses in Indianapolis, IN, and Arlington, TX.
