August 12, 2019 was a major milestone in the life of DFS, as it marked our 10th anniversary. Ten years prior Fred Elsey and Darren Willey fully invested themselves and initiated the journey toward establishing DFS as a leader in chemical blending and distribution equipment. Their vision and effort created the foundation for what we know of DFS today and where it is positioned for the future.
