Vandor Corporation

Vandor Corporation Vandor Corporation is a multi-faceted manufacturing company with 2 distinct divisions: Starmark Crem Established in 1972 in Richmond, Indiana by Mr.

Bruce Elder, Vandor Corporation began by specializing in custom die-cutting of chipboard and corrugated fiberboard components. Our proprietary products simplified and revolutionized the process of trimming casket interiors and are still an integral part of our company today. After several years of developing these unique products, we shifted our attention to other disciplines that could benefit fr

om creative use of lightweight and strong converted paper products. We devoted our R&D efforts to the packaging needs of the electrical connector industry and developed several corrugated fiberboard reels. This success led to developing reel packaging products for other industries such as wire & cable, cordage, and fiber optics, while also branching out to other commodity materials such as our ENVIROMOLD® reprocessed resins. Thus, Reel Options® was established. With so much specialized growth, in 2012 we decided to separate the company into two distinct divisions.

“Starmark Cremation Products”, which manufactures cremation products sold directly to Funeral Homes and Crematories nationwide and through a growing network of casket distributors, moved to a new facility to focus on its core business, where we design, manufacture and market everything in-house. Vandor currently has over 25 patents specific to the casket/funeral supply industry, and over 35 overall. Products such as the Transporter® cremation container and the Sure~Lock™ Urn are keys to the continued success of Starmark. Visit our page .richmond for more info. "Vandor Plastics", where Reel Options® now resides, stayed at the current facility and took over the full 119,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Today—Vandor’s Reel Options division manufactures reel flanges from 6.5-inch up to 24-inch diameter. We employ an in-house assembly department, and flanges and tubes can also ship individually bulk packaged for remote assembly in order to save on freight costs. Many of our patented designs allow our customers to simply assemble reels in house with a staple gun or torque driver--depending on the assembly method. Visit our page for more info. Vandor Plastics also manufactures quality plastic parts for other industries through injection molding, thermoplastic extrusion and thermoform vacuum forming. We are proudly ISO 9001:2008 and IS/TS 16949:2009 certified.
