vintage original item
American Rolling Mill Company
The American Rolling Mill Company, or Armco, was established by George M. Verity. Verity was the son of a Methodist circuit rider and found a successful career as the manager of a steel roofing business in Cincinnati. Verity’s goal was to own a steel mill in order to produce the steel needed for his roofing business.
Verity and a few business associates established Armco in Middletown, Ohio on July, 12 1900. The plant was deemed the Central Works. Verity worked to develop three separate processes of manufacturing in one plant that included: making the steel into ingots, reducing the ingots into smaller bars, and finally a process to make the material into a finished product.
As Armco endured its first years of operation, George Verity and his business partners learned that in order to succeed in the steel industry they needed to constantly innovate, concentrate on specialty steels and maintain a faithful and invested group of workers. These lessons greatly influenced the course of the company. The company’s venture into specialty steels began in 1908 when production of the Armco ingot iron began. The ingot iron gained infamy thanks to its unique attributes, such as its reluctance to rust.
