Manufacturing
With the acquisition of Powr-Flite in 1996, Tacony broadened its portfolio by starting to manufacture commercial floor care products in Ft. Worth, Texas.
In 1997, Tacony Corporation brought production of Simplicity and Riccar vacuum cleaners from Taiwan to the United States.
As a result, Tacony is now manufacturing 13 lines of vacuum cleaners at its U.S. facility in St. James, Missouri. Not only does this allow Tacony to proudly put the “Manufactured in the USA” label on its Missouri products, it enables Tacony to maintain closer control of quality issues and to be more responsive to dealer and consumer needs.
In addition to the new facility to support Riccar, Simplicity and Powr-Flite, Tacony Corporation has invested a considerable amount of resources into Research and Development. Among the resulting new capabilities are:
• High-tech paint facility
• ISO 9001 certified
• Solid modeling design using a state-of-the-art CAD system
• Prototyping of vacuum cleaners and other products
• Detailed testing of all Tacony products using ASTM standards
• 200,000 square foot addition for Mac Molding and additional distribution
Tacony’s commitment to new product development and existing product improvements ensures continued success and growth of its market share. It proves to customers that Tacony Corporation will continue to make significant investments in and commitments to the future of the Simplicity and Riccar lines of vacuum cleaners, plus Powr-Flite & CFR commercial cleaning equipment.
In September 2008, Tacony acquired the assets of Mac Molding. Since 1971, Mac Molding has been dedicated to serving the plastics industry by delivering highly-finished plastic parts through compression, transfer and injection molding. For many years, Mac Molding has been molding parts for Tacony's vacuum cleaner plant in St. James. The company also has extensive experience in molding parts for businesses in many other industries from a variety of materials, including products that require phenolic parts application such as cookware. Over half of the Mac Molding team has 30 years of experience in the industry, with the expertise to produce the highest quality parts from virtually all types of tooling.
