New South Florida facility, expanded Charleston operations, and the launch of E-DEK PRO position DEKit for continued growth across the marine industry
Press Release
For Immediate Release – June 15, 2026
Charleston, SC, June 15, 2026 — DEKit, Inc., a leading provider of customizable marine decking solutions across a growing range of premium materials, is excited to announce several major investments aimed at better serving boat builders, dealers, and boat owners throughout North America.
Florida and South Carolina Facility Expansion
As part of its continued commitment to the marine industry, DEKit has invested in the relocation of its Charleston operations to a larger, centrally located facility, while also expanding its footprint into South Florida with the launch of DEKit South by opening a strategically located Florida facility. These thoughtfully planned investments substantially increase production capacity and enhance service responsiveness in two of North America’s most significant boating and boat‑building regions.
DEKit’s new Florida facility was launched in partnership with industry veteran Next Level Customs, forming DEKit South. As a pioneer in the marine decking industry, Next Level Customs brings unmatched experience and expertise to the collaboration. Chief Executive Officer of Next Level Customs, Steven Paul, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership:
“Our team brings over 40 years of combined industry experience, built on a commitment to quality products and exceptional service. Partnering with DEKit was a natural fit, given their leadership in innovation and high-quality decking materials. The launch of Evercor in 2024 was a game changer we observed closely while our previous partner failed to evolve. Now, we’re excited to help bring E-DEK PRO to market and serve Florida from a world-class South Florida facility. Our shared commitment to excellence makes this partnership especially exciting.”
The expanded Charleston facility has increased capacity by nearly fivefold, while both the Charleston and South Florida locations are centrally located near key customers. These expansions allow DEKit to increase throughput, reduce lead times, expand inventory capacity, and further optimize its supply chain, reinforcing the company’s ability to deliver industry‑leading service and innovation in marine decking solutions.
Product Line Growth
DEKit also announces the continued expansion of its premium product portfolio with the introduction of E-Deck Pro, marking a significant milestone as the company now offers three distinct, industry‑leading marine decking solutions. In 2024, DEKit pioneered the category’s first expansion beyond traditional materials with the launch of Evercor, a proprietary natural cork decking engineered to be the most durable product in the market.
The Company’s newest offering, E‑DEK PRO, features a hybrid construction that combines polyurethane resin with PE/EVA foam, delivering both exceptional durability and enhanced comfort. By pairing the upscale appearance and toughness of synthetic teak with the cushioning benefits of foam, E‑DEK PRO is well‑suited for pleasure vessels where comfort and performance are equally important. DEKit’s ongoing material and assembly innovations continue to expand customer options and address a broader range of marine applications. These innovations reinforce DEKit’s leadership in performance, design, and customer choice. Chief Operation Officer, Jeff Brauser stated:
“We never want to stand still as a company. We’re always looking for ways to improve, innovate, and offer something different, and E-DEK PRO is a huge step forward for us and for marine flooring as a whole. We believe E-DEK PRO will redefine expectations for style, comfort, and performance in marine decking.”
DEKit continues to focus on sourcing the highest‑quality materials and delivering a market‑leading experience for its customers. Building on this momentum, the Company anticipates announcing additional product lines as part of its continued innovation strategy.
