Recent history

Mr. Joe Dee opened dee Concrete Accessories in 1956 to sell metal forms, nail stakes, and forming accessories to construction supply dealers in 1956. Mr. Dee had just obtained a patent on nail stakes.

Since 1995, dee has worked hard to expand our marketing activities and production capabilities, allowing us to doubles sales and become the industry leader for flatwork forms, metal and wood forming accessories, and nail stakes.

dee Concrete Accessories today

Today, dee concrete forms and nail stakes are produced at both of our two Chicago-area facilities. One facility is located within the Chicago city limits and the other is located in Norridge, just west of the city limits. The combined square footage is 88,000 square feet.

During 2000, we entered the paving forms market, producing 1/4" and 3/16" steel high quality, cost-competitive, forms for road paving activities. This line complements our other flatwork form lines, curb & gutter form lines, and our specialty, custom forms.

We are the only metal forms manufacturer that offers custom-designed and manufactured custom forms for our customers including super flat forms, tilt-up forms, reversible-tilt-up forms, foundation form sets, seawalls and marine forms, rehab forms, and rigid custom column forms.

Today, dee employs ~80 metal craftsmen, staff, and managers.
