In 2013 Dega celebrates 35 years in the business, a milestone that places the company among the most long-lived Italian builders of auxiliary equipment for plastics processing. The company began as a provider of technical assistance. The two founding partners, Delledonne and Gatti, whose initials were united to create the company name, have always summarized the company philosophy in the slogan "traditionally at the cutting edge". Today, in the age of globalization, this guiding principle is carried forward in products whose strong points continue to be quality and originality, even during periods of recession.
