Company Profile
DAP began its journey in 1865 when Robert H. Dicks and Elmer Wiggim began producing sealing wax for food-canning out of Dicks' garage in Dayton, Ohio. In 1906, Dicks bought out Wiggim and collaborated with George Pontius. Plastic Wood®'s brand got integrated into the DAP portfolio of products in the '90s. Finally, in the 2000s, an exclusive marketing agreement was made with the worldwide leader in antimicrobial technology, Microban International, and the integration of the Phenoseal brand of adhesive caulk. Our mission is to provide solutions to build, renovate, and repair homes worldwide, with confidence from start to finish while demonstrating an intense desire to help others succeed.
Since 1865, when Robert H. Dicks and Elmer Wiggim began producing sealing wax, DAP has continued to innovate the industry. We constantly strive to provide the best quality products to our customers. To get the job done, select a DAP product today!
How We Came to Be
DAP was founded in 1865 when Robert Dicks and Elmer Wiggim
began producing sealing wax, and they didn't stop there. For over 157 years, DAP
has provided professional contractors, remodelers, and do-it-yourselfers with
trusted, reliable, quality, and long-lasting products.
The Revolution
In 1906, Dicks partnered with George Pontius to take the
company forward. In 1913, these two incorporated their partnership as the
Dicks-Pontius Company. This partnership revolutionized the home repair products
market in the 1940s, and '50s through its product development and marketing,
including moving the industry to market caulks and sealants in disposable
cartridges.
Acquisitions for Growth
During the 1950s, the company grew manifold times through
several acquisitions, including a merger with the Chicago-based Armstrong
Company in 1957. The resulting entity was given the name
Dicks-Armstrong-Pontius, which was eventually shortened to the brand name
DAP.
