Industrial Rubber & Mechanics Inc. (INRUMEC) was
founded in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1963 by Fred and
Edna von Hillebrandt as a distributor for Industrial
Rubber Products including Industrial Hoses, Conveyor
Belting, and related accessories. The “Mechanics”
side of the business came with the inclusion of
Mechanical Systems such as Conveyors and Components.
After years of continous growth in 1985 INRUMEC
moved into its current Headquarter in Luchetti
Industrial Park in Bayamon.
With the idea of improving the service to the
customers in the southern part of the island in 1991
INRUMEC opened its first branch in Ponce. The
immediate success of this branch led to the opening
of another branch in 1995 in Mayaguez. Both branches
were later converted to Parker Stores specialized in
offering Parker Fluid Connectors and Parker Fluid
Power Components.
In 1996 Fred von Hillebrandt retired and after
having worked for 10 years in different positions
within the company Thomas von Hillebrandt became
President.
In order to be able to meet the ever growing demand
for its products and services in 2000 INRUMEC
remodeled it’s Headquarter in Bayamon adding more
warehouse and office space. We also incorporated a
Parker Store within our facilities offering the most
complete inventory of hydraulic hoses and fittings
and fluid power components, factory trained
professionals and a wide array of services to our
customers in the metropolitan area.
Realizing the tremendous opportunities in the
pharmaceutical, biotech and food industry, in
January 2005 INRUMEC acquired CPI Controls’ Puerto
Rico operation in Caguas. CPI is a specialized
distributor of High Purity and Corrosion Resistant
Pipe Valves and Fittings. CPI is now INRUMEC’s High
Purity Fluid Transfer Group.
In October 2005 INRUMEC acquired Packaging
Automation Corporation to add Packaging Machinery to
its current Material Handling product offering.
INRUMEC is now organized into four product Groups;;
Parker Stores Fluid Connectors and Fluid Power Group,
Packaging Automation Group, CPI High Purity Fluid
Transfer Group and the Hoses, Belting & Flow
Components Group.
Our mission is to represent leading manufacturers
and provide our customers accurate technical
assistance, superior quality products, excellent
service, and a competitive price. We want to become
our customers’ preferred source for our products and
services. |
