ELANTAS PDG has a long business pedigree when it comes to making protective and performance-enhancing electronic coatings, varnishes, and resins. Although scholars might take issue, the company claims that "founder P. D. George coined the word 'Pedigree' in 1919 to denote quality." Etymology aside, the company -- which is owned by German conglomerate ALTANA -- makes wire coatings, insulating varnishes, and encapsulating resins designed to insulate, protect, and improve the performance of wires and other electronic components. ELANTAS PDG (formerly called P. D. George Corporation) also makes resins used in other electronic products and applications, including banding tape, adhesives, and laminating resins.

TCR Industries, founded by Tony Rumfola in 1975, will recognize its thirty-sixth year operating as a manufacturers' representative organization June 1st. Our beginning was dealing in distressed inventory brought on by the infamous "oil embargo" which occurred in the early 1970s. A very large percentage of manufacturers requiring chemical raw materials overbought because uncertanties of availability requirements to make their finished products. Thus, when the curtain lifted ending the "oil embargo" caused shortages, there were staggering inventories interfering with cash flows. Opportunities were there to buy these inventories at discounted prices and sell at discounted, but profitable prices. The process was helpful to all parties concerned, and it helped in the start up of TCR.
