Company Description

Tishcon Corp. was founded in Westbury, NY, by Raj Chopra, Vipin Patel and others in 1976 as a contract manufacturer of bulk products, mostly for mail order marketers and wholesalers. Over the years, the company has expanded to offer a full line of services: from packaging and labeling to new product development. A second location, in Salisbury, MD, was established in 1984.
