A B C O Die Casters, Inc.

Founded in 1971 by Vincent J. Vitollo in Newark, NJ, ABCO grew from one start-up casting machine in a small facility to a collection of small buildings spanning almost a city block that housed casting, powder coating, warehousing, and general offices in separate facilities.

As growth continued, the unique city neighborhood character of ABCO became cumbersome as warehouse space was at a premium and handling the volume of truck traffic and material grew increasingly difficult. The facilities were totally jammed with work-in-process being staged outdoors daily to create workspace. The company desperately needed to expand to a larger facility.

In 1994, a serious search was started for new quarters. By January of 1998, all departments except powder coating moved into the new facility. By the end of summer, 1999, a brand new powder coating line was installed and operational. Consolidation of all departments was complete and the 'old ABCO' was no more! Since 2001, additional casting machine capacity and robotics have been added, as well as CNC equipment for the secondary department.
