Van's Pattern

About

Van’s Pattern is a national leader in the manufacture of polystyrene patterns. Over 30 years ago Dan VanderMolen, the owner, was not receiving the service he required from his current supplier. He decided to give Criterion, a new start-up company, a chance to prove themselves and purchased his first Pattern Master™ Foam Milling System. Dan now has 8 Pattern Masters™ and has worked with Criterion to implement many technological advancements in his equipment.
