Medico Industries is a defense contractor formerly based in Pittston, Pennsylvania. It was later relocated to Wilkes-Barre. The period I have written about is from 1957 until the early 1970s. William Medico was chairman of the board and his brother Phil was a significant player in the organization. Phil Medico and traffic controller James Anthony Osticco were significant members of Bufalino crime family headed by mobster Russell Bufalino. Medico Industries was vital in the manufacture of military products during the Vietnam War.
