History

Established 1987

Dekra-Lite was established in 1987 with a focus on the commercial holiday décor market. The company was built on the recognition that commercial properties, shopping centers, municipalities, entertainment venues, require holiday decorations engineered for commercial demands: extended display periods, high foot traffic, outdoor exposure, and professional installation requirements that residential products and service providers cannot meet.

Over nearly four decades, Dekra-Lite has grown into a nationally recognized supplier of commercial Christmas decorations, serving hundreds of commercial properties across the United States. The company has supplied holiday programs for some of the most recognized shopping destinations, downtown districts, and entertainment venues in the country.
