In 1997, the creation of Vac-Tron Equipment, a division of American Manufacturing, took the environmental clean-up market by storm. Vac-Tron became the pioneer and leader in the portable trailer-mounted vacuum equipment industry. With more than 30 different product configurations, Vac-Tron is committed to building strength, safety, durability, and one-of-a-kind features into all of its industrial vacuum products, and then backing them up with integrity and service.

Located in Okahumpka, Florida, Vac-Tron distributes in all 50 states through 40-plus national dealers and 110 dealer outlets around the country. New dealers are being added in South America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Upgrades of the nation's aging infrastructure will likely drive demand for Vac-Tron's capabilities of safely locating underground utilities with vacuum excavation. Additionally, use of vacuum products for valve exercising, flood and road spill clean-up, storm drain clean-out, and other environmental remediation positions Vac-Tron for the potential of rapid growth.
