Tapco

Tapco was conceived in the early 1970s by Paul D. Taylor, president and Ted W. Beaty, retired, to fill a void in the elevator bucket industry. At that time, there was only one manufacturer of nonmetallic buckets in the USA. All the other buckets were made from fabricated steel. With the inherent problems of steel buckets and the limited range of the existing polyethylene brand, the time was right for Tapco.
The company has been in its own 92,500 square foot facility for over 25 years. This has allowed Tapco to bring its injection molding 'in house' for better control and cost effectiveness. Tapco has nine injection molding machines ranging from a small 150 ton to a very large 1,000 ton press. This allows the company to make its entire range of buckets in the most expedient and quality controlled manner.
Tapco stocks the largest inventory of elevator buckets and bolts in the world, some 900,000 buckets and 14 million bolts.  Click on the image to visit the Tapco website.
