History of ADCO Industries
Adco Industries Australia represents Adco Industries USA, offering the EasyCut™ Safety Knife range—designed to protect users and prevent damage to stock. Established in 2013 by John Scott, Adco Australia continues a legacy of workplace safety.
The Story Behind Adco Industries (USA)
Founded in 1980 by Ray Davis after witnessing a severe workplace accident, Adco set out to make box cutters safer. Ray’s mission led to the creation of the Super Safe Top Cutter, the first safety knife in the U.S., still trusted and in use today. Every Adco product is designed to reduce accidents, improve efficiency, and make workplaces safer.
Product Range Evolution
Innovating for Safer, Smarter Workplaces
ADCO Industries has a long history of creating products that improve safety, efficiency, and convenience. In 1984, the Sit and Shop manual shopping cart was introduced, providing comfort and accessibility for millions of shoppers who struggle to walk long store aisles. Today, it remains the #1 selling manual sit-down cart. Ray Davis, founder of ADCO USA, quickly expanded the company into product innovation and retail solutions. ADCO’s Flexographic Printing Division became an industry leader, pioneering water-based ink printing on plastic for POP display tags—boosting in-store sales by up to 30%.
ADCO continued its safety mission with the EasyCut™ Safety Knife, which reduces accidents and protects products, and introduced the Mini-Mule Vault Dolly and Vault Shelving systems, revolutionising cooler storage, cutting back injuries by 50%.
Mission Statement
A Legacy of Breakthrough Products ADCO Industries has continued its mission to create innovative, safer solutions for retailers. Highlights include the SafeTacher, the only O.H.S.A.-approved retail apparel tag fastener, featuring a patented spring-action mechanism and no-touch needle replacement for triple protection against injuries and blood-borne risks. Over 38 years, ADCO has grown by listening to customers and delivering products that solve problems and improve daily work. Recent innovations include the Mega Scraper for industrial residue, the Mega Dust Pan for large spill clean-up, Dust Vac for safe electronics cleaning, and the EasyCut™ 4000 & 4500, engineered as the ultimate box-cutting solution. Every product reflects Ray Davis’s lifelong quest: to make workplaces safer, smarter, and more efficient.

Safety Knives have completely changed the way our team handles daily cutting tasks. They’re comfortable to use, intuitive, and significantly safer than standard blades. Since introducing them, we’ve noticed fewer near-misses and a much stronger safety culture across the floor.
