Brooklyn-based Van Blarcom Closures, Inc. has specialized in child-resistant packaging closures since the Scuderi family began manufacturing closures in 1924. Incorporated in 1947, VBC developed its Saf-Cap™ line after the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and now derives more than 90% of its business from these closures. Its in-house tool department designs, builds, and maintains the tooling behind its closure manufacturing, supported by a quality program aligned with ISO 9002 elements.
