We are excited to be celebrating our 40th Anniversary this year. While February 7^th will officially mark four decades since we opened our doors in Bristol, PA, we look forward to commemorating our “Ruby” anniversary throughout 2025, and in several meaningful ways, some that will even provide us the opportunity to give back to the communities where we do business today.

So, we invite you, our customers, partners, and the many people who share our interest and enthusiasm for critical infrastructure or employee ownership, to visit this page throughout the year. We will continue to share this journey with you. In the meantime, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to read this blog post which looks back at our history.
