Seaford honors PENCO Corporation on 75th anniversary
Summary
Seaford recognized PENCO Corporation for 75 years of local operations; company leaders presented a video recounting the firm's history from a small Water Street shop to a multi‑site distributor and logistics operation.
The Seaford City Council recognized PENCO Corporation for 75 years of business in the community at the Nov. 11 meeting.
Company leaders — including Scott Sapna, Jeff Peterson, George Sapna and Kent Peterson — presented a video tracing the company’s growth from a small plumbing supply shop in 1949 to a regional distributor with multiple wholesale locations and a warehousing footprint exceeding 100,000 square feet. Speakers recounted key milestones including expansion of warehouse operations, a name change to PENCO Corporation in 1971, growth into contract warehousing and branch openings across Delmarva.
Mayor Matthew McCoy presented a proclamation thanking the company for decades of local employment and civic contributions. The council applauded and accepted the recognition.
Why it matters: the presentation highlighted a long‑running local employer and emphasized private‑sector investment in Seaford’s economy over several generations.
What happens next: City will include the proclamation in the official record and coordinate any follow‑up recognition events with company leadership.
