Orcon Corporation was founded in 1962 to meet the rigid requirements of the aerospace industry. Hollis Bascom formed Orcon in response to aerospace s demand for lightweight, non-woven reinforced materials, thus filling a void in the fabrics industry. The company name is derived from the types of products Orcon produces: oriented continuous strand. Bascom patented the manufacturing process BOCS (Bonded Oriented Continuous Strand) that Orcon uses to create these highly advanced materials. The development of this process has made Orcon Corporation on of the leaders in reinforced film technology. In 1970, the carpet seaming tape division was added to serve the residential and commercial carpet industries. That year, Orcon developed its first hot-melt carpet seaming tape. Now known as Ocron s Floor Covering Installation Systems Division (FCISD), this unit produces flooring installation tools in addition to seaming tapes that are used by carpet installers to close and secure seams during carpet installation. Orcon Corporation continues to support the needs of growing industries by developing new and innovative products that meet stringent quality requirements.
