We know the critical role that we serve and we do it with dedication and care. DESCO is committed to creating lasting relationships by understanding client needs, offering mindful dedication to every project, and adapting to a constantly changing industry. Our technicians are skilled with long retention rates and extensive training, ensuring your service is the best we can offer.
Who We Are
DESCO was established in 1970 as “Diagnostic Equipment Service Corporation”. We started out servicing laboratories and since then, we have expanded to hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and now restaurants and hotels. We know that asset management, maintenance and repairs are best served by an organization that understands the importance of urgency and service delivery. DESCO is here for you with more than 50 years of experience and a range of services and knowledge unlike anyone else in this industry.
We have expanded our name to “Diversified Equipment Services and Consulting Organization” to maintain the connection to our original acronym to pay homage to our roots, and to encapsulate all that we do as we evolve and grow.
