Machinery Laser cutter – Excellent for making patterned surfaces for lattice work, screens and bases and also for detailing and cutting out wood veneers for marquetry. Water cutter – This works by cutting through wood or metal without burning the edges. Large CNC machine - This carves a solid piece of wood in 3D from a CAD drawing. Founded in 1973, Dongguan City, Guangdong-based Decca produces office and hospitality furniture for the U.S. market, as well as residential furniture for the U.S., Europe and Asian markets. At the 1.5 million-square-foot facility, Decca produces more than 19,000 pieces per month. According to Decca Director Tony Tai, the company employs 1,500 people at its factory.  Approximately 16 percent of sales are from exports, mostly to the United States. Decca also has three offices in the United States: Minneapolis (office/Decca Contract), High Point (residential) and Atlanta (hospitality). Customers include: Four Seasons Hotels, Hyatt Corp., Ritz Carlton, Hilton and the Starwood Group of hotels. The company uses a combination of solid wood and panel processing for the manufacture of its products. Decca has both cold presses and hot presses on the premises for the pressing and layup of veneer. For the machining process, panels are cut to size on Holzma saws and edgebanded on a variety of machines including Brandt and  Homag edgebanders, the latter with premilling stations at the top and bottom. The company also uses vertical saws and Heesemann as well as other sanders. All of the CNC machining centers are centralized in one location, for both flat and 3D routing of solid wood and panel parts. Decca uses a combination of Homag and other CNC machines for the routing process. What stands out about Decca is its successful merging of handcraftsmanship with technology. Located around the corner from the bank of CNC programmers, six employees spend their day hand carving intricate designs for the company’s residential furniture pieces. For the finishing application, Decca uses both a UV flatline system and Venjakob sprayers on the flat parts. Spray guns are used to finish non-flat parts, which are then moved through a series of ovens for drying.
