A Legacy of Innovation
Since 1955, AMCO International has led breakthrough innovations in the nail and dental industries. From pioneering the first nail forms to creating cutting-edge enhancement systems, our journey is filled with firsts.
Key moments include:
1955
Dr. Frederick A. Slack Jr., a visionary in prosthetic dentistry and a pioneer of plastic teeth technology, founded AMCO as a dental products manufacturer.
1957
A small lab accident changed everything — Dr. Slack repaired his own nail with dental acrylic, sparking the creation of the world’s first nail form and launching a new era in nail care.
1960
AMCO’s work in dental products laid the foundation for today’s professional nail enhancements.
1970
Harnessing our expertise in dental chemistry, AMCO introduced acrylic and UV gel systems, becoming the go-to manufacturer for the industry’s first branded nail companies.
1981
AMCO explores UV activated photochemistry for dental and cosmetic industry with the help of many specialized chemists. This leads to the creation of a complete line of polymers, light activated urethanes for specific use in the nail industry.
TODAY
AMCO continues to be a primary manufacturer and developer of dental and cosmetic polymer technologies.
