DSC® Celebrates Its 80th Anniversary By Innovating for the Planet and Performance

Celebrating 80 Years of Innovating with Purpose

DSC®, a global leader in high-performance foam innovation, proudly marks its 80th anniversary by reflecting on the remarkable journey of its dedicated employees. Having laid the foundation for high-performance materials since 1945, DSC's commitment to sustainability and innovation continues to drive the company forward.

A Legacy of Commitment

As DSC looks back on its eight decades of accomplishment, Chief Operating Officer Mei-Fen Wei emphasizes the critical role of the team in shaping the future of foam innovation. "We are incredibly proud of our teams that have gotten us here through the past eight decades," Wei stated. The core mission of DSC revolves around its people, performance, and the planet, focusing on creating solutions that prioritize comfort while being environmentally responsible.

Sustainability Framework: Run the Relay

Central to DSC’s values is its sustainability framework known as Run the Relay, which underlines a zero-carbon, zero-waste mission. This initiative reinforces that sustainability is not a one-off effort but an ongoing commitment that involves all stakeholders, from employees to supply chain partners. DSC is making strides toward more localized manufacturing, enhancing agility and reducing transportation impacts, thereby aligning with its environmental objectives.

Green Innovation Initiatives

One of the key elements supporting this mission is the introduction of DSC’s Green Box program, which began in 2017. Made from recycled PE material, these reusable boxes utilize Velcro closures instead of conventional tape, emphasizing sustainability in packaging solutions. Remarkably, a single Green Box can be reused up to 17 times. For every 1,000 boxes utilized in a year, the environmental impact is substantial—saving approximately 68 trees from being cut down, diverting 1.4 tons of waste from landfills, and avoiding 281 kilograms of carbon emissions, contributing positively to the planet’s health.

Cutting-Edge Technologies for Performance

In conjunction with sustainable practices, DSC® has pioneered groundbreaking technologies to enhance product performance while minimizing environmental footprints. At The Materials Show, DSC launched its DREAMCELL® VELO— a next-generation polymer insole technology designed to deliver remarkable athletic capabilities while ensuring minimal production waste. This innovation melds high-performance features with sustainability, allowing athletes to perform at their best without compromising on environmental values.

Moreover, DSC has introduced the DURAPONTEX® L-TAC foam process, which enables molding at significantly lower temperatures (just 120°C). This innovation effectively reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions during production by 50%. At scale, this could save around 11,000 kWh per million insoles, translating into the energy sufficiency for approximately 300 households over a month.

Looking Towards the Future

As DSC® enters its next chapter, the focus remains steadfast on advancing materials that enhance comfort while combating environmental challenges. The embrace of principles like transparency and continuous innovation underpins DSC's mission to engineer premium products that genuinely make a difference.

For 80 years, Dahsheng Company (DSC®) has carved its place as a frontrunner in foam innovation, supporting the footwear market with its superior DREAMCELL® and DURAPONTEX® products. By pushing the limits of foam manufacturing, DSC® pledges excellence in performance with a dedication to offering eco-friendly solutions that raise industry standards.
