The new generation of managing directors, Dirk and Hans Decoopman, order the construction of larger production facilities along the Roeselare-Ooigem Canal in 1988. They purchase the first CNC machines, which perfectly illustrates their propensity for innovation. More and more products are developed for the cleaning industry and professional markets such as the food, the professional cleaning and other industries. Falcon Brush is launched and quickly becomes one of Decof’s premium labels.

In 1956, Decoopman-Vandeginste & Zonen took part in the expo in Brussels, Salon de la Droguerie and de la Parfumerie.

The P. Vandommele company is acquired in 1954 and continues under the name Decof bvba. Antoine and Valère Decoopman take over the day-to-day management of the company in 1964. Decof bvba specialises in the production of brushes made from Chinese pig bristles. Export is once again directed at the British market.

In 1924 Achilles Decoopman and his family establish A. Decoopman-Vandeginste & Zonen. Until 1939 the products are sold primarily on the British market. The brand name ‘de valk - le faucon’ (the falcon) is used as the brush label.
