One expert, twelve plants, and a drain that finally cleaned properly. It became the category.
Erik Hansen worked across twelve BC production facilities. Not one had a drain that could be properly sanitized. So he designed one: a narrow slot, seamless, fully welded, internally sloped. It became the slot drain.

A polyurethane flooring specialist inside Bedford Industries Group, building the other half of the hygienic floor system — entirely independently of us, for the next eighteen years.
DELC joins Bedford Industries Group under president James Sleightholme, putting drain and coating expertise under one roof for the first time. Jordan Lee later joins as a stakeholder. The standard doesn't change — the reach does.
DELC is recognized as a leading hygienic drain manufacturer. Erik Hansen has retired; his standard is still the one we build to — and still why we lead with drainage and partner for coatings, rather than pretending we invented those too.
