Our History
Although Zepco has run various types of products over the years, it seems we have concentrated on the pharmaceutical industry for some time now. Back in the 1960's, at the request of a large biological company, we made our first I.V. type hanger, which was used in the military as a standard issue. It was made from cotton "tape" and sewn together to form a hanger capable to hang a bottle upside down. Different companies may have received the "army" contract, but we were the ones supplying the same product to all of them.
As pharmaceutical companies grew, there became a need for products that would be reliable, economical and handle the growing volume in the industry. Once again, we stepped up to supply a polyethylene type product that would fill all those requirements. This product is called the Poly Sling, and is still manufactured today. All our products are custom made to the exact size required. The Poly Sling has been as small as 20ml and as large as 1000ml.
When Zepco added injection-molding capabilities to its services, we invented the Ring Sling. This product offers further precision, which is not possible with the Poly Sling, all at a reasonable price.
Zepco continually searches for new methods in hanging bottles, and currently is exploring another original design. We have served companies, worldwide, with usage as small as one thousand slings per year and as high as over one million.
