DEPCO develops and markets educational curriculum for early childhood, K-12, and the post-secondary market. Product topics include science; business, marketing, and IT; careers and technology; early childhood; family and consumer sciences; and industrial automation and preengineering. The educational market has demanded these products and DEPCO responded by creating some of the most robust curriculum on the market. Once the curriculum and the components were developed, DEPCO detected a need for modular furniture for the classroom. Nothing on the market was able to properly hold the DEPCO curriculum and components. Additionally, modular-style learning units are the tools for instructors who desire efficient, structured classroom learning activities for their students. Therefore, in 1992, DEPCO constructed a manufacturing facility to produce modular units. With the addition of this facility, DEPCO is able to meet the needs of school districts and control the product quality of the modular furniture. The addition of the modular furniture allowed DEPCO to offer a complete package to school districts.
