Dekkers, officially known as Dekkers NV, is a Lindian engineering firm with its headquarters in Artwingen and Quiniac City. The company, better described as a conglomerate, specialises in the production and development of both industrial machinery such as turbines and electric transformers and home appliances such as ovens and dish washers.
The company was founded in 1931 by Andries Dekkers. Dekkers had graduated from the Stokfort Polytechnic University with a degree in mechanical engineering. Failing to find work in his field due to the great depression he decided to start his own engineering firm. Several months after the company was founded, Christiaan de Vecht, a recent electrical engineering graduate, joined Dekkers. The duo, with the help of acquaintances working for the government, got several contracts to design and oversee the production of electric motors and transformers used for the poldering of the province of Meijgaarden. This success kept the company afloat until the outbreak of the second world war. Both Dekkers and De Vecht fled to Capsland during the war. Upon return they received grants from the Lindian government to rebuild the company. This time more engineers were hired and the business was expanded. The most notable expansion came from the partnership with Folbert-Lapidot, as Dekkers got to develop jet engines for the Model 13 fighter jet.
Dekker's paternal cousin, Wouter Dekkers, joined the company is 1949; he persuaded his cousin to set up a small plant for the production of vacuum cleaners he had designed. This eventually expanded in to the home appliance giant that is known today.
Nowadays the company employs over [a] people who work as engineers, factory workers or sale and office staff. It is in the top ten most valuable companies in the Artwinger Stock Exchange (ASX) and is cross traded in the Rhodeve Stock Exchange (RSXE). The conglomerate had a profit of [b] in 2017.

Since 1949 Dekkers has been developing, manufacturing and selling household appliances. The first of which was Lindenholt's first domestically produced vacuum cleaner in 1949. Wouter Dekkers, the cousin of founder Andries Dekkers, was a pioneer in the field of the Ventismarien household appliance market. He took inspiration from other highly developed economies' appliance market and sought ways to improve upon those and bring them to Lindenholt. After the first vacuum cleaners this strategy was expanded to dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, ovens, and later also to microwaves.
