Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC is a company based in the United States. Vac-Tron designs and manufactures a brand of portable environmental vacuum clean-up equipment. The company is headquartered in Okahumpka, Florida, and was founded by President Don Buckner.〔2010 http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20100618005051/en〕 Vac-Tron machines includes gasoline, diesel and super diesel models for use by public and private sectors including underground contractors, directional drillers, utility companies, water/wastewater/storm water departments, military installations, municipalities, roofing companies and emergency and environmental cleanup teams. Uses include directional drilling, vacuum excavation, industrial clean-up, manhole, lateral and storm drain clean-out, and natural disaster clean-up.〔2010 http://www.edmontonhydrovacservices.com/tag/vac-tron/〕 ==History== In the mid 1990s, utilities were being placed underground. Huge increases in the number of buried cables, utility, gas and fiber optic lines also brought increases in the inherent dangers associated with cutting those lines. People, property and equipment were being endangered by prolonged utility outages, explosions, and electrocutions that resulted in serious injuries, loss of property and fines. Locating those utilities was done mostly by backhoes or digging by hand. In 1997, Buckner launched Vac-Tron Equipment as a Division of American Manufacturing & Machine. He began educating directional drilling and underground industry leaders about a safer way to work around underground lines by physically locating them using a technique called vacuum excavation. Today, non-destructive excavating using pressurized water and a vacuum system to dig precisely is called hydro excavation. The use of air and a vacuum to dig precisely is called dry excavation. In 2000, Vac-Tron Equipment moved from its original 6,000-sf manufacturing facility in Okahumpka into a 64,000-sf facility, situated on 10 acres almost directly across the street.〔2010 http://www.EnvironmentalExpert.com/company_sitemap.asp?letra-V〕 That year, Buckner was named Entrepreneur of the Year for Florida and one of three finalists of the National Entrepreneur of the Year Award for construction/real estate, a competition sponsored by Ernst and Young, NASDAQ, CNN Financial and USA Today.〔2000 http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2000_June_29/ai_63039947/〕 Vac-Tron was also recognized as the “13th Fastest Growing Private Company in the Country” by Inc.
