VASSALLO INDUSTRIES
CELEBRATES 45 YEARS OF QUALITY & DISTINCTION
Forty-five years ago Industrias Vassallo, Inc. began revolutionizing the construction industry in Puerto Rico as a pioneer in the production and distribution of PVC pipes and accessories for water and sanitary use.
Since then, its position as a leader in the industry has continuously grown, reaching international levels with distribution in Central and South America, the Caribbean Basin, the United States and Canada.
From pioneering in the manufacture and distribution of plastic pipe and accessories for sanitary and electrical applications, the company has diversified into plastic furniture and accessories for household use.
Following the success of PVC pipe in the construction industry, the company established operations in the United States during the 1970s. At the same time, the company began export to Central and South America, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands.
In 1983, the company established Vassallo Research & Development Corporation, a company dedicated to research, development and quality control of new products. Quality and originality have been the key words at Vassallo. Vassallo has succeeded because its talented designers and engineers have created innovative and superior products. The company holds scores of world-wide patent and is constantly developing new processes and products. Many have set national regulatory quality standards for the industry.
Industrias Vassallo, Inc. manufactures its products according to the specifications established by the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM) agency. The company is also certified by recognized regulatory agencies such as American Water Works Association (AWWA), Canadian Standard Association (CSA) National Sanitary Foundation (NSF), Factory Mutual (FM), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
In 1989, Industrias Vassallo, Inc. consolidated its operations into a new and innovative 250, 000 square foot facility. Located in Coto Laurel, on the outskirts of Ponce, Puerto Rico, this industrial complex is the most modern found worldwide. Industrias Vassallo, Inc., stores its products in a large 60,000 square foot warehouse for global distribution.
The heart of the company lies in its mixing department. Modern computers custom built in Germany to strict specifications control formulations used in the manufacturing process. Using only the best quality resins and additives available, Industrias Vassallo, Inc. controls its formula to guarantee quality products right from the start.
Vassallo Industries manufactures products of diverse plastic materials, among them: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene and polypropylene.
In 1997, Industrias Vassallo, Inc. inaugurated its new rotomolding plant, unique within its class in the whole Western Hemisphere. It has the capacity of processing up to 100,000 lbs. of polyethylene per week. Polyethylene is a high impact plastic used for diverse products, such as water tanks, security barriers, kayaks and flowerpots.
Recently, the company began to manufacture products utilizing the Blow Molding process. This process is used to produce jerry cans & drums that can be used to transport raw material for pharmaceuticals and concentrate for carbonated drinks. These jerry cans are available in 3, 4, 5, 6, 55 and 60 gallon sizes. Also manufactured are trash cans that are durable and of high resistance.
The universal acceptance of PVC and vast and extended experience of Vassallo Industries have allowed the company to expand their products offerings overseas. Vassallo industries performed an essential part in the evolution of the construction industry thanks to the continuous search for new technologies and processes and to the commitment of generation after generation, in the manufacture of products of the highest quality.
LEADERSHIP BORN MORE THAN FOUR DECADES AGO
In 1962, the four grandsons of Vicente Vassallo Fiorimonte, an Italian immigrant who established a metal shop in Ponce, Puerto Rico in 1898, began experimenting with making construction products from a promising new substance, polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. Their daring decision to start manufacturing products with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) lead to the creation of a purely Puerto Rican company that has subsequently reaped great success in the plastics industry and has placed the name of Puerto Rico prominently for almost half a century.
What would become Industrias Vassallo was born with an investment of $3,000, the dedication of 12 people, and the will to innovate and excel. Today Industrias Vassallo celebrates 45 years as a world recognized company for its quality in plastic products and employs approximately 300 people in its plant in Puerto Rico. Thanks to the determination of its leaders, constant innovation of its product line, and the effort and dedication of those who make up Vassallo Industries, the company has maintained its status as a leader a manufacturing of plastic products.
