The Roots Of ACM And Where They Intend To Go

By Bob Oliver


There are many businesses that offer security seals, but American Casting and Manufacturing is one of the most enduring. As a matter of fact, one can argue that this speaks to the longevity of the seals in question, not to mention how often they're used today. After all, when valuable goods are transported, these items can be used to secure them. Here is what you should know about the origins and future plans of the business in question.

For those that don't know, American Casting & Manufacturing is a company that was founded by two brothers: Henry L. C. Wenk Jr. and Norman B. Wenk. These brothers wanted to create a company that could help the construction industry, which was starting to blossom early into the 20th century. Along the way, they were able to provide a number of products to the industry in question. These include, but aren't limited to, bolts, nails, and castings.

Did you know that, prior to moving to Plainview, ACM operated out of Brooklyn? This worked for the company during the late 1910's, as it was just starting to come into its own as an authority on construction and security alike. As the company in question grew, however, more space was needed so that additional products could be made to meet demand. This led them to Plainview, complete with a larger facility to accommodate said demand.

Not only did ACM's growth allow the company to move into a larger facility, but account for safety requirements and regulations as they changed over the years. To continually build upon seal technology, they would have to account for all industries from cash handling and utilities to food, beverage, and chemical processing. Needless to say, there is much to consider when ensuring safety. By doing so, however, better-quality products are able to be created.

The history of ACM is nothing short of rich, but the future of the company is just as important, if not more so. The company intends on continually manufacturing the products they've become known for, security seals included. For this to be done, however, the company must build and evolve in a number of ways. This can be done by training new employees on such topics as safety and manufacturing. Additionally, research must be invested in so that seals become better. The moving parts of ACM are numerous, each with its own level of importance.
