Vac-U-Max, an industrial vacuum cleaning systems provider in Bellville, NJ, announced 2019 was a banner year for company milestones.

“Fifty years ago, I filled an open sales position offered to me by my father Frank, selling compressed-air powered vacuum cleaners from the trunk of my car,” said Steve Pendleton, in the press release. “The past 50 years have been the best memories of my life, with a fantastic team of dedicated and loyal employees along the way.”

“I am both humbled and honored for this opportunity to serve as president,” added Doan Pendleton, in the press release. “My father was the first to see the true potential of Vac-U-Max and is responsible for growing Vac-U-Max to where it is today. I cannot thank him enough for his vision, leadership, perseverance, and contributions. He is the true pioneer and visionary and will continue as [c]hairman of the [b]oard.”
