DCL International Marks 40 Years of Engineering Innovation

TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DCL International Inc. (DCL), part of the DCL Technology Group and a global leader in advanced catalytic technologies, celebrates its 40th anniversary with the launch of a refreshed brand identity that honors the company’s heritage while reflecting its evolution and continued growth.

For 40 years, DCL has grown as a family business built around a belief that hard problems are worth solving, and cleaner air, better technology, and greater industry sustainability are worth pursuing. Founded in 1986 as Diesel Controls Limited, DCL began by developing emissions-control technologies for diesel vehicles operating in underground mines. Since then, the company has expanded its capabilities, geographic reach, and applications to become a global provider of advanced technologies that reduce emissions, support cleaner energy, and improve industrial efficiency.

What started with underground mining emissions has grown into a group of companies serving industries around the world, from power generation and data centers to clean fuels, aerospace, and food sustainability. DCL has also expanded its manufacturing operations in Canada and the United States, established a European presence in Germany, and launched companies addressing emerging needs in trucking, emissions control, and renewable energy.

“DCL was founded on the belief that industries could operate more efficiently and sustainably through better engineering,” said Claudia Swiatek, Vice Chair of Family Board, DCL Technology Group. “Forty years later, that vision continues to guide us. While our capabilities and markets have grown significantly, our commitment to developing reliable technologies that solve complex environmental challenges remains unchanged.”

The company’s new visual identity reflects that evolution. DCL’s original logo featured the representation of a mine entrance, reflecting the industry in which the company began. The redesigned logo retains that meaningful symbol while reimagining it for a broader, more forward-looking story.

“Our new identity is an evolution, not a departure,” said Swiatek. “It preserves the symbol that connects us to our beginnings while reflecting the broader role DCL plays today. It represents a company grounded in four decades of experience and actively shaping what comes next.”

Throughout its history, DCL has continued to expand its technical and manufacturing capabilities. Milestones include developing early diesel particulate filters for mining vehicles; entering stationary engine and alternative-fuel markets; expanding into catalyst coating, metal substrate manufacturing and high-temperature vacuum brazing; and advancing technologies for methane reduction, natural gas decarbonization, hydrogen electrolysis, and specialty catalyst applications.

DCL’s growth has also led to the creation and expansion of businesses within the DCL Technology Group, including Roadwarrior, GraniteFuel Engineering, and AERINOX. Together, the group’s companies apply engineering and technology to help customers reduce emissions, recover and reuse energy, transform waste streams, and operate more sustainably. The DCL Technology Group now employs more than 400 people across multiple industrial sectors and maintains an international presence serving customers around the world.

“Across four decades of growth, one thing has remained constant: the dedication, passion and innovation of the people behind DCL,” Swiatek added. “This anniversary celebrates that legacy, the family vision that continues to guide us, and 40 years of innovation that have made DCL what it is today. We look forward to the next 40 years.”
