Arco was founded in Salt Lake City by Tom E. Malm in 1975. Tom was a master salesperson and had won many awards from Wagner Bag and J.C. Paper Company.
When J.C. Paper closed its Utah office in 1975 Mr. Malm decided to start his own company, calling it Arco Industrial Sales Inc. It was better known as Arco Packaging Sales and now as Arco Packaging, Equipment and Janitorial Sales. Tom hired Jack Mitchell in January of 1979 to help the small three person sales team. For nearly 10 years Jack enjoyed a successful sales career at Arco.
In 1988 Tom decided to sell Arco to Jack in order to concentrate on his St. George venture. Today Arco employs over 40 people, 14 of which are outside salespeople covering Utah and surrounding states. Its success continues largely because of excellent customer service, well–trained and caring people, and quality products. Our main office and warehouse is in Murray, Utah with an additional office and distribution warehouse in St. George, Utah. From these locations we serve the best people; our customers.
