After five generations of leadership, we have grown to include service center sales in both steel and pipe, fabrication and railcar repair. In the 1960's we moved our main operation to it's current location, the site of the old Pennsylvania railroad locomotive shops in the heart of Altoona,PA.Continuing to build, the company added a satellite operation in 1965 at Cumberland, MD while consistently increasing its facilities in Altoona. In 2012, the company remains strongly committed to its customers, its employees, and the community.
