Pacor

What Pacor does

Pacor, Inc. is a privately held US-based fabricator and distributor of thermal and acoustical insulation products, founded in 1921 in Philadelphia and now headquartered in Bordentown, New Jersey. The company operates four fabricating plants across Bordentown, NJ; Gastonia, NC; Vidalia, GA; and Bessemer City, NC (added March 2019), employing between 101 and 250 people across what it calls its "associates" workforce. Pacor distributes and fabricates a broad portfolio of insulation materials — aerogel (via its Aspen Aerogels Authorized OEM Fabricating Partner relationship), fiberglass (via Johns Manville Select Master Fabricator status and Owens Corning, Knauf, Lydall, CertainTeed supply), ceramic fiber, mineral wool, elastomeric foam, and acoustic materials — and sells both under its own proprietary brands RapidWrap® (removable/reusable insulation covers, 1,200°F standard up to 2,300°F specialty) and UltraGard® (precut aerogel pipe wrap for refinery/petrochemical use).

The company's core technology is custom industrial insulation fabrication under ISO 9001 quality systems in a Lean Manufacturing environment: CAD-driven waterjet, CNC, die, and kiss cutting; industrial sewing for fiberglass, foam, aerogel, cloth, and foil materials; wet lamination; heat-seal encapsulation (including proprietary aerogel dust-mitigation techniques such as thermal paint coating to 400°F and FSK encapsulation to 240°F); slitting; and kitting for Just-In-Time and Kanban inventory programs. Operating temperature range spans cryogenic (-320°F) to over 2,000°F, with aerogel products claiming up to five times the thermal effectiveness of traditional insulation per inch and 50–80% thinner required thicknesses versus conventional materials.

Pacor makes money through a hybrid revenue model. Custom fabrication and OEM-embedded programs are quote-based via a dedicated Request-for-Quote form with a $1,000 minimum order and are final sale; standard-length aerogel insulation (Pyrogel XT-E, Cryogel, Cryogel Z), UltraGard pipe wrap, and VentureTape foil insulation tape are sold at fixed unit prices through an e-commerce storefront ranging from $102 to $2,906 per SKU. Distribution combines direct B2B inside sales (phone, email, on-site RapidWrap specialist measurement visits) targeting enterprise OEMs with a self-serve SMB e-commerce channel, plus OEM-embedded programs that integrate Pacor-fabricated parts into customer products across power generation, HVAC, appliances, transportation, marine, and acoustical end-markets. Pricing also includes kitting and specialty assembly services with color-coded labeling and installation documentation for JIT programs. The customer base spans "100+ markets" worldwide, with a named testimonial reference at ITW Cooking Equipment and an active international marine customer footprint.
