The Largest Manufacturer of Elevator Buckets in North America
Tapco Inc. was conceived in the early 1970s by Paul D. Taylor, President and TedW. Beaty, Executive Vice President,
to fll a void in the elevator bucket industry. At that time, there were only a small number of nonmetallic buckets
manufactured in the U.S.A. All the other buckets were made from fabricated steel. With the inherent problems
of steel buckets and the limited range of the existing polyethylene styles, the time was right for Tapco.
The name Tapco is derived from, Ted And Paul’s Company. The company has been in its own 75,000 square
foot facility for over 20 years. Tapco has eight (8) injection molding machines ranging from a small 150 ton
to a very large 1,000 ton press. This allows us to make our entire range of buckets in the most expedient and
quality controlled manner. Tapco stocks the largest inventory of elevator buckets and bolts in the world; some
900,000 buckets and 12,000,000 bolts. We also have the largest inventory of abrasion resistant sheeting, drag
fights and hanger bearings in North America. We have the products that you need, when you need them, and
at a competitive price! Our staff is geared to handle the most urgent of emergencies.
We atTapco feel the future is unlimited. There are plans for new and different products relating to bulk material
handling. Our exporting is growing every day. We have shipped to more than ffty different countries around
the world. Stocking distributors are located strategically in North America, Central America, South America,
