American Vacuum Company was founded in the early 1900s by Ralph H. Person, who purchased the vacuum cleaning division of American Radiator Company. Hence the brand name: Arco. Our humble beginning began in the basement of a building located in downtown Chicago. In the years that followed through the great depression and two world wars, American Vacuum Company expanded its operation and built a manufacturing facility in Skokie, IL. As the family business grew with the addition of Ralph M. Person, American Vacuum continued to expand even further.
We have installed over 500,000 Industrial Vacuum Systems across the United States and pride ourselves on being a family owned business. Please take a look at some of the case studies below to learn a little more about how American Vacuum is an industry leader and constantly pushing the industrial vacuum industry forward.
American Vacuum is now offering weekly heavy duty vacuum rental packages on a significant portion of our vacuum equipment. Shipping from our centrally located facility in Northern IL, American Vacuum can ship a rental vacuum unit anywhere within the United States within a week. With our on-demand rental solutions, you get all the advantages of an industrial vacuum cleaner without the high cost of ownership, maintenance, and storage. The sticker price of an industrial vacuum cleaner is considerably high, and not every facility finds value in ownership.
American Vacuum Company is a leading manufacturer of industrial vacuum cleaners and heavy-duty industrial vacuum systems for production lines, material handling, warehouses, and other dust intensive factory areas. Our industrial vacuum cleaners are custom designed and built for tough applications in heavy duty industries that demand sturdy, reliable, high performing equipment. In addition to a complete line of industrial vacuums in stock, we offer custom designed and installed central vacuum systems.

Ordered a motor. Got charged right away. Waited a week just to get a phone call, that price increased. After I told him he should offer me the advertised price he backed off and said he can't get it. Issued refund, called and apologized.

I have been working with American Vacuum for nearly 20 years. I remember doing a project that had 100 drops and thousands of feet of pipe. The system worked awesome as all of them do with AVC. They don't hesitate to send you extra parts to complete a project they just ship it at no extra cost. You will sometimes have things happen on any project. Things get lost, broken or shortages. None of these things are an issue with American Vacuum. I wish all companies we worked with were more like AVC! Awesome Group I look forward to what the Future holds!
