Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Deimco Finishing Equipment of Tama County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“Since 1983, Deimco Finishing Equipment has specialized in American-made high-quality finishing systems that cater to the automotive, military, medical industries, and more,” said Chair Ernst. "With 99% on-time delivery on over 2,800 completed projects, Deimco Finishing Equipment sure knows how to engineer a smooth finish.”

In 1983, Tom Deimerly established Deimco Finishing Equipment and grew it steadily until 2002 when Kirk and Cindy Shirar bought the business. Their vision to provide high-quality finishing systems and automation solutions steered the company to Tama, Iowa in 2003 to accommodate their expansion. In 2024, the Shirars passed the family business to their son and daughter-in-law, Jacob and Kyrsten, who manage the business today. This year, Deimco Finishing Equipment will celebrate its 42nd anniversary in Iowa.

Stay tuned as Chair Ernst recognizes more Iowa small businesses across the state with her Small Business of the Week award.
