We are pleased to announce that DECA Manufacturing was selected by the Burton D. Morgan Foundation to participate in the respected scale-up program, Scalerator. DECA's CEO, Cameron Haring, and his management team recently completed this program. Geared for existing companies, it aims to guide those who are seeking to pursue higher levels of growth, up to and through the $50M range. This program is a 7-month long, cohort-based program which focuses on the 3 C’s of scaling up Customers, Capacity, and Cash to both accelerate revenue growth and make it sustainable. At the group’s final meeting In July, Cameron Haring presented his ScalePlan which detailed how DECA aims to achieve a growth rate of 25% in the next 12 months and then sustain it in the future.
To be eligible for the program, DECA Manufacturing (located in Lexington, Ohio) had to demonstrate that it is a growth-driven company. While open to all sectors, the program is competitive; each cohort is limited to 10 spots and requires an application. There were companies all over Northeast Ohio in this year’s cohort and nearly 100 companies have completed this seven-month program since its inception. Haring and his team would like to express their thanks to MAGNET Ohio’s President, Ethan Karp, and Brittany Bush for facilitating this program.
An entrepreneur at heart, Cameron Haring purchased DECA Manufacturing in 2018. Since taking the helm, he has worked to update the company’s processes, equipment and systems. In addition to the company’s mainstays of
In addition, Haring has worked to expand the company’s product offerings; he recently purchased a line of thermal switches from Thermtrol. Not content with just building quality products, Haring has worked to create a fun and family-style work environment through events such as lunch trucks visits, employee of the month, and parties for holidays like Halloween.
Haring’s leadership style can be traced back to his original goal. While working for a large corporation, he began looking for an Ohio manufacturing company to purchase. He specifically looked for one which could use his skills as an entrepreneur and be a part of the revitalization of manufacturing in the greater Mansfield, Ohio area. Completing the Scalerator program provides another set of tools to support his company’s future growth.
