1924 The Scuderi family, owners of VBC, begin manufacturing closures.. 
1947 Van Blarcom Closures, Inc. is incorporated on February 3rd, in Brooklyn, New York
Prior to 1972 VBC manufactures metal threaded closures and fitments for the can industry, as well as cork lined crown closures as used by the beverage industry. 
1972 The Poison Prevention Packaging Act is passed by Congress.  Hazardous products, which were primarily packaged in metal cans, now require child resistant packaging. 
  VBC quickly responds with the development of Saf-Cap, a two-piece metal child resistant closure. Modifications soon produced a plastic over-cap version. This introduction into plastics paves the way for VBC’s entry into the pharmaceutical and household chemical industries with an all plastic millimeter sized two piece push-down-and-turn child resistant closure, Saf-Cap I.
  Saf-Cap I gains popularity quickly. Sales grow at an alarming rate in an industry that is already flooded with designs from competing manufacturers. 
1988 The design benefits of Saf-Cap are proven in an independent study performed for the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. 
In this study the Saf-Cap closure was demonstrated as being the most consumer friendly. The results of this study are used as a building block in the development and eventual adoption of the present regulations governing child resistant packaging requirements.
  Further developments include the Saf-Cap II, Saf-Cap III, and Saf-Cap III-A child resistant closures and the Saf-Cap I CR dropper closure. 

Today

 Saf-Cap closures account for over 85% of VBC’s total business.  VBC's development group continually pursues new and improved designs of closures as well as the design and manufacture of specialty dispensing and medical devices.
