Doan Pendleton, VP of Sales and Marketing at VAC-U-MAX expressed the importance of events like this that support manufacturing in New Jersey. "Keeping business here in the states is important not only for local economies, but also overall economic recovery," he said.

VAC-U-MAX is family owned and operated, and Pendleton says, "I believe that there is a greater responsibility to people and to product when everything is produced under one roof. There is no big corporation to hide behind, so it makes you more accountable."
