Beschreibung
For almost a century, the Blair Strip Steel Company of New Castle, Pennsylvania, has made cold-rolled specialty steel beyond a world-class standard. George Blair and his son founded the company in 1923 to serve the burgeoning automobile market led by Ford's Model T, but the story of the Blair family and their impact on American manufacturing began long before the Roaring Twenties. In the decades following the American Revolution, Blair innovators and entrepreneurs developed routes to transport iron from central Pennsylvania into the expanding West. In the early days of steel, industrialist and inventor Thomas Shoenberger Blair partnered with future steel magnate Andrew Carnegie to revolutionize railroad rails and become one of the most innovative steelmakers and progressive businessmen in Pittsburgh. Despite facing significant adversity throughout the twentieth century, including the decline of the American steel industry, Blair Strip Steel became one of the most successful steelmakers in the country and a beloved institution for its employees and community. On the shoulders of eight generations of Blair entrepreneurs, the company maintains its formula for small business success and continues to forge the future of material science.
