ABOUT US:

Established in Richmond, Indiana, in 1972 by Mr. Bruce Elder, Vandor Corporation specialized in custom die cutting of chipboard and corrugated fiberboard components.  Initially, our focus was on proprietary products that simplified and revolutionized the process of trimming casket interiors.  Manufacturers using these were able to streamline their operations by eliminating labor-intensive handwork.  After several years of developing these unique products, it was a natural course of events to turn attention to other disciplines that could benefit from creative use of lightweight and strong converted paper products.  We devoted our attention to the packaging needs of the electrical connector industry and developed several corrugated fiberboard reels that used paper wrapped cores.  Enjoying success with these led us to explore further the needs of similar industries including wire and cable, cordage and hose.  Vandor has a proven track record of successful product development with over 20 years experience assembling millions of reels per year.  

In 1995, we began extensive experimentation with the use of other post consumer materials.  Developing so many new reel products, we established a separate Marketing Department called “Reel Options”.  Vandor Corporation’s primary goal in offering Reel Options® is to provide engineered product protection with the least amount of material usage, design reels that are easily assembled and make them available assembled or KD directly from Richmond, Indiana, through your local reel supplier or from any of our North American distribution partner locations.  

Our Customers appreciate the broad flexibility of the Reel Options® product line while paying only for the level of protection and strength they really need.  Our product line is made possible by the combination of various manufacturing methods which includes injection molding machines up to 1000 ton capacity, custom die-cutting using clamshell, flatbed or roller type presses and complete testing capabilities.
