June 6th is a historic day at AWP Industries, Inc.

On June 6, 1990, American Wire Products was incorporated. It marked the start of a new era in our industry.

Craig F. Chamberlin, our founder, introduced a new business model to the metal-working industry: a model that adheres to the highest international quality standards; a model centered around the customer; a model that knows that a product may be made of metal, but a business is made of people.

Today AWP Industries, Inc.—our official corporate name since January 1995—is a highly diversified, customer-focused company. Our 221,091 square-foot building—located on a 15-acre site in Frankfort, Kentucky—houses state-of-the-art, automated equipment and a unique team of highly skilled and experienced metal-working professionals. It's a combination that permits us to maximize productivity and to achieve very high economies of scale. It’s a combination that also allows us to meet the goals set forth in our mission statement: to be the best-managed metal fabricator in the United States, an excellent company overall, and to be recognized as such by others.

Evidence of what the company has become today and of its strong customer orientation can be found in AWP's Quality Policy:

"We will meet or exceed customer expectations and never compromise AWP's quality standards."
