DYE Precision, also known as simply DYE, is a paintball equipment manufacturing company and a well known Numerical control (CNC) manufacturing company operated under the brand DYE CNC[2] based in California. Dave Dehaan started the company by producing barrels for paintball markers, using his garage as a workshop. He supplied barrels to the California Ironmen and Team Avalanche, who at that time were two of the most dominant teams in Professional paintball. From these humble beginnings, DYE went on to become an International concern that went on to manufacture an extensive range of paintball markers, loaders, playing & casual clothing, protective gear, goggles and luggage and created an economy focused offshoot brand Proto Paintball. Their range of products is typically updated each year. In 2005, the company was praised as one of the industry's largest paintball manufacturers.[3] The company has offices in London, Taiwan and Germany.[1]
