Dec-O-Art, located in Elkhart, Indiana, has established itself as a prominent leader in compliance and branding solutions. These “Made in America” labels reflect the strength, resilience, and dedication of the American workforce, embodying a level of quality recognized worldwide.

Recently, we have noticed a growing trend among our customers who want to highlight their pride in American manufacturing. In response, we created five brand-new patriotic designs,” said Alexis Sindle, Sales Operations Manager.

These labels serve as an exceptional finishing touch for businesses looking to communicate their support for American manufacturers and products. They are highly versatile and particularly well suited for application on recreational vehicles, trailers, trucks, and an array of other products. Each label is engineered for durability, compatibility with various surface types, and ease of application, ensuring that they meet the practical needs of our customers.

Sharp Manufacturing was among the first customers to purchase these new patriotic labels. President Heather Anderson remarked, “I was very pleased to see that Dec-O-Art has started offering a larger variety of these labels. We began using American Made decals on our trailers about a year ago because we felt it was important to let customers know they are supporting an American business and receiving an American-made product. We fabricate and manufacture our trailers from the ground up in Kansas, and we are proud to offer an
American-made product.”

Dec-O-Art encourages their customers to demonstrate their commitment to American manufacturing and convey a powerful message through their labels, now available for purchase at www.dec-o-art.com. The new designs come in a variety of shapes and styles, with options for enhancement including a high-gloss Deco-Lens finish.

Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day: $60,000 Donated During Company-Wide Volunteer Initiative

Angela Marazita — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 11:33:14 +0000

Dec-O-Art, a leading label manufacturer based in Elkhart, Indiana, has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the Michiana community through its annual Donation Day event. This year, our company closed its doors for a day to enable all employees to dedicate their time and efforts to local non-profit organizations, resulting in a profound impact on the community.

The Donation Day initiative, driven by the collective spirit of Dec-O-Art’s employees, saw volunteers spread across three significant local organizations: Center for Hospice Care, Center for the Homeless, and Women’s Care Center. By engaging with these organizations, Dec-O-Art employees are making a tangible difference in the lives of many.

Nathan Dosmann, the third-generation Owner and President of Dec-O-Art, reflected on the importance of this event:

“Our second annual Donation Day is a celebration of the exceptional organizations within our community. These organizations provide resources to our most in-need brothers and sisters – specifically individuals who are ill, experiencing homelessness, and navigating pregnancy and motherhood. This day of giving is an illustration of our team’s belief and trust in our community and our hope to inspire generosity in others.”

In addition to the invaluable volunteer hours, Dec-O-Art also presented each of the three organizations with a generous donation check of $20,000, totaling $60,000. This substantial $60,000 financial support will enable these three organizations to continue their critical work within the community.

To understand the impact of the Donation Day event, we spoke with the Chief Development Officer at the Center for the Homeless, Taya Chapman. Taya explained the significance of Dec-O-Art’s volunteering:

“The Center is so thankful for the growing partnership with Dec-O-Art and their team! It’s so awesome to see the amount of people that come out to help the organizations in our community on any given day. Dec-O-Art has done an amazing job of leading this community in those efforts. It starts at the top with Nathan, the President, and just the entire organization rallying around to help the people that need it most!”

Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day not only emphasizes the company’s role as a business leader but also as a community pillar committed to philanthropy and service. The event is a testament to the company’s belief that corporate responsibility extends beyond business operations and into the heart of the community.

Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day Enriches Michiana With Over 300 Hours of Volunteering and $60,000 in Donations

Angela Marazita — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 03:44:19 +0000

Dec-O-Art, the premier label manufacturer, has a long-standing tradition of giving back to their community, but this year they took it a step further. Located in Elkhart Indiana, the Label Experts at Dec-O-Art hosted their first-ever Donation Day on Friday, September 8th, to enrich Michiana.

The Donation Day event involved closing down operations, so the company’s employees could volunteer at three local, non-profit organizations. Dec-O-Art’s employee-driven, community support initiative allowed the team to select the organizations they wanted to impact, which included Bashor Children’s Home, Center for the Homeless, and Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Dec-O-Art is a family-owned company that is triumphing with their third-generation Owner and President, Nathan Dosmann. Nathan reflected on the purpose of Donation Day.

“Donation Day was created to step back and recognize that Dec-O-Art is God’s gift to us, and our work is our gift to God. We are choosing to close the doors of Dec-O-Art for the day and open ourselves to hands-on service to our community.

As if this day wasn’t already incredible, on top of volunteering employee’s time, the Label Experts also awarded the three local non-profits with a charitable donation check on $20,000 each! Over 300 hours of combined volunteer work and $60,000 of gifted donations was the rewarding result of Donation Day.

This is monumental for Dec-O-Art, as it was the first time the business closed to inspire all-day volunteering and the largest sum of money donated in a single day to their beloved community.

“Taking time to close our business, load up the vans and cars, and take our whole team into the community speaks to the love and compassion we have for the Michiana community. I could not be more proud of the impact that our team has had through their generosity. Dec-O-Art has been part of our community for more than 50 years and we are vested in continuing to witness our community flourish,” said Nathan.

$12,000 Donated to Support National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS)

Angela Marazita — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 17:49:33 +0000

For more than 50 years, Dec-O-Art, has called Elkhart their home. The company has three core values: service, quality, and community. To support their commitment to the community, Dec-O-Art created an employee-driven donation strategy and the team elected for National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to receive a contribution of $12,000.

NMSS is a nonprofit organization that pursues their mission to help end multiple sclerosis (MS), the disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Thus far, the organization has improved the diagnoses time, funded research for prevention and treatment, and positively impacted the lives of the affected individuals. Seeing the incredible value of the nonprofit, Dec-O-Art, awarded them with a donation. Owner of Dec-O-Art, Ron Dosmann, along with Owner and President, Nathan Dosmann, presented the donation to NMSS on behalf of the company.

The Indiana NMSS Development Manager, Amy Treber, was present to receive the donation. She accepted the $12,000 check with an exceeding amount of appreciation and informed the group of the level of impact the donation will have for the organization.

“The National MS Society is the leading organization in striding towards the end of MS. While The Society’s mission is to end MS, we know there is more work to be done before we get to that milestone to make sure that everyone living with MS and their caregivers live their best lives. The Society funds research to stop, restore and end MS, hosts virtual programming, and provides resources such as our MS Navigator program. With partners like Dec-O-Art, the National MS Society can be a support system for the one million Americans living with MS at all points of their MS journey.” Amy stated.

There are several ways to get involved with NMSS including fundraising events, volunteering, partnering, becoming an MS activist, and more. If you would wish to support their mission or learn more about the organization, visit https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Get-Involved.

Dec-O-Art Donates $25,000 to Support Elkhart’s Make-A-Wish Foundation

Angela Marazita — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 18:20:57 +0000

The Label Experts at Dec-O-Art strive to support the community they have called home for the past 50 years of operation. The family-owned company chose to contribute to the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s local chapter to support the organization and make an impact on our community.

Dec-O-Art, the ISO Certified label and decal company, created an employee-driven donation strategy and the team elected for Make-A-Wish to receive a contribution of $25,000.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation has the mission to fund and create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The organization informed Dec-O-Art that in Elkhart County there are twenty-eight children waiting for their wish to be granted. Some of the children’s wishes include going to Disney World, traveling to Charleston by train, or going on a Pokémon shopping spree. Dec-O-Art is honored to be able to provide the funding for wishes to be granted to children in our community. Owner of Dec-O-Art, Ron Dosmann, along with Owner and President, Nathan Dosmann, represented the company to announce the contribution and offer the check to the Make-A Wish Foundation.

“Dec-O-Art wants to present your organization with $25,000 to help support your cause, so that kids can experience their wishes. Hopefully, several children can be impacted by the donation that our team has decided to give to Make-A-Wish,” explained Nathan.

Joining Dec-O-Art for the donation presentation was Make-A-Wish’s Financial Advisor, Lyndsay McBride Hemmick. She was overwhelmed with gratitude and mentioned how impactful the Dec-O-Art donation will be to the organization.

“There are twenty-eight children in Elkhart County waiting for their wishes to be granted while they are going through the hardest time in their life. Make-A Wish Foundation and the community has the opportunity to get behind them and pass along the gift of experiencing a wish for these children,” stated Lyndsay.

Each wish costs approximately $10,000. Lyndsay said that the Dec-O-Art contribution will grant two to three wishes for the children and their families.

Make-A-Wish offers several ways to get involved including fundraising, volunteering, partnering, adopting a wish, and more. If you would like to learn more about Make-A-Wish Foundation, visit https://wish.org/

Dec-O-Art Donates $10,000 to Support Mishawaka’s All 4 Animals Rescue

Angela Marazita — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 11:28:59 +0000

Dec-O-Art, the ISO Certified label and decal company, provides employees with the opportunity to vote on which local, non-profit organization will receive a substantial monetary donation. This year, All 4 Animals Rescue, a Mishawaka organization that helps to rescue and rehome animals, was at the very top of the list.

Subsequently, a dear friend and employee of Dec-O-Art, Heidi Knight, unexpectedly passed away earlier in June of 2022. Heidi was passionate about All 4 Animals and even requested on her obituary that donations be made to the organization in lieu of flowers. Dec-O-Art suffered a tremendous loss and sought for a proper way to honor Heidi. It was then decided to donate that generous amount to All 4 Animals in loving memory of Heidi Knight.

President of Dec-O-Art, Nathan Dosmann, reflected on the organization that was important to Heidi saying, “There are a number of animals that do not have homes and the partnerships that All 4 Animals has with the community allows them to bring in those animals, care for them, and give them the opportunity to have a healthy and happy home, just like Heidi provided for her dogs.”

All 4 Animals has been positively impacting the community since 2007 by rescuing between 500 to 1,000 animals annually. Their President and Medical Director, Michelle Vargas, was accepting of the donation and explored ideas to allow Heidi’s legacy to live on. The organization chose to name a room Heidi’s Haven in her honor where families can meet with the ready-to-adopt animals. Michelle shared the positive influence that Heidi had on her organization.

“Heidi has always been involved with All 4 Animals Rescue’s mission and shared our posts on social media. She lit up the room and had that energy that everyone respected. It has been a beautiful friendship and comradery.”

Michelle is thankful for Heidi and the rest of her 100-person volunteer team that allow All 4 Animals to pursue their vital mission. Dec-O-Art is honored to support their efforts with the $10,000 donation. They previously contributed to the organization in 2021, but this donation had a deeper impact being that it could be in Heidi’s memory.
