Van Blarcom Closures

The Scuderi family, owners of VBC, have been continuously manufacturing closures since 1924. Van Blarcom Closures, Inc. was incorporated in Brooklyn, NY February 3, 1947. Prior to 1972, VBC manufactured metal threaded closures and fitments for the can industry as well as cork lined crown closures as used by the beverage industry. Subsequent to the passage in 1972 of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (P.P.P.A.), hazardous products which were primarily packaged in metal cans now required child resistant packaging. VBC quickly responded with their development of Saf-Cap?, a two-piece metal child resistant closure. Modifications soon produced a plastic overcap version. This introduction into plastics paved the way for VBC's entry into the pharmaceutical and household chemical industries with an all plastic millimeter sized two piece push-down-and-turn child- resistant closure, Saf-Cap?
