The Origins Of ACM & Its Future Plans

By Bob Oliver


American Casting & Manufacturing has rich history to it. It's easy to see why, as it's one of the longest-standing companies that manufacture and provide security seals. These items are necessary for businesses that transport products of high value. Where did this specific company come from, though? What are its plans after being in business for so long? Here is what you should know.

In 1916, American Casting & Manufacturing was incorporated by a pair of brothers: Henry L.C. Wenk Jr. and Norman B. Wenk. Their goal, according to Norman, was to "meet the requirements of a growing construction economy," which was starting to gain ground in the 20th century. From there, the company in question found itself providing a number of products. Not only did they manufacture seals, as mentioned earlier, but castings and stampings, just to name a few.

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.

Another goal that ACM has had was the expansion of security seal technology so that their products could become better. This is an understandable goal, but it had to be done while accounting for safety standards and regulations. The industries these apply to are numerous, including transportation, food and beverage, and oil and gas processing. These regulations are not only meant to protect these types of industries, but allow ACM to build better products for them as well.

What should be known about the future goals of ACM, you may wonder? While it should come as no surprise that they will continue to develop security seals, they will sharpen other areas of the company so that it performs well on all fronts. This includes employee staffing and training, not to mention the research associated with the aforementioned products. Needless to say, there is far more to consider than seals alone.
