https://pixvid.me/DAPHistory DAP Products is an industry leader in caulks, sealants, adhesives and patch & repair products. DAP leads the way with first to market techniques and innovations, but we’ll never forget our company’s humble beginnings.
DAP traces its roots back to 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 joined with George Pontius, incorporating their partnership in 1913 as the Dicks-Pontius Company. When Robert Dicks died, his son John entered the business and expanded it to include putty and caulk manufacturing in bulk form. Through the 1950′s, the company grew through several acquisitions, including a merger with the Chicago-based Armstrong Company in 1957. The resulting entity was renamed Dicks-Armstrong-Pontius, which was eventually shortened to the brand name DAP.
In 1998, DAP moved its world headquarters to Baltimore, Maryland. DAP Products Inc. is now an operating company of RPM International Inc., alongside other industrial manufacturers and products including Rust-Oleum, Day-Glo, Carboline, Stonhard and Tremco.
