The family business grew to include Phil’s sons Joe and Bill in the mid 1980’s. Today the company operates from two locations, both in Northern Berkshire County. The North Adams location handles the retail, ferrous and bulk lots; while the 60,000 square foot warehouse accommodates the wholesale side.
