Amer-Con’s Mission

To provide our world-wide customers with high quality products and services, according to their requirements, at competitive prices with reliability and care; thereby assuring mutual success. Our goal is to always be the Solution Provider, fulfilling all needs for our customers.

The NUCHIM Foundation

Recognizing poverty and lack of services to the less privileged in most of the territories that we cover, we decided to form a not-for-profit and charitable organization, the NUCHIM Foundation which was incorporated in the State of Florida under the number N06000009906. Our Foundation’s mission is to “Bring Hope and Comfort to the Needy”. The foundation was also formed in honor of Jose Nuchim Rapaport, father and inspiration of the Amer-Con partners and families. It was also seen to be very fitting for this purpose as the translation of the word “Nuchim” is comfort.
