Danco was founded in the early 1970’s by Daniel P. Creed, creator of Daniel P. Creed Co. in Pennsylvania, during 1933. The company served as an annex for Creed Co. till 1972, when NCH, a global supplier of maintenance, repair and supply products purchased Creed Co. NCH later combined the company with another purchase, Aqua Plumbing, a company which previously sold under the brand ‘Perfect Match’.
In 1995, the three companies embarked on a strategic initiative to streamline their efforts and unify their operations and sales forces. Danco became the leading brand name for consumer goods, and ‘Perfect Match’ was added as a tagline to further unify the companies in the eyes of their joint customers. Hide
The DIY Movement
During the 1970’s, the ‘Do-It-Yourself’ industry emerged, encouraging and leading the way for homeowners who were willing to tackle home improvements on their own. The movement was answered by the formation of retailers like Home Depot® and Lowe’s®, which focused on home improvement goods for the entire home. Danco also began to enjoy remarkable growth as the DIY movement became a part of the mainstream. Customers everywhere found that they enjoyed these money-saving DIY plumbing repair projects.
