Frank Morrow Company in Hospitality Design Conference and Expo 2007 May

The Frank Morrow Company was incorporated in early 1929, just months before the banks closed in the Nation`s plunge into the Great Depression.

Frank Morrow persevered during these years through toolmaking skills that enabled him to tackle jobs (like making zipper wire) that few others would attempt. His workweek often consisted of seven-day weeks and eighteen-hour workdays with the six hours night`s rest taken on top of his desk.

During World War II, the company switched most of its production to the making of high precision torpedo bearings (the ones that worked, not the problem-plagued bearings made at the Navy`s torpedo facility).

At the end of the war, production shifted back to the main lines of jewelry findings and decorative wires, bandings and decorative perforated metals for the lighting, giftware, furniture, and leather goods trades.

At the time of Frank Morrow`s sudden death in 1965, the company employed approximately fifty people, working in an approximately 15,000 square foot factory.

Today, after years of investment in automated equipment, the Company employs twenty-four people in an expanded 60,000 square foot plant. Four full-time toolmakers ensure a steady flow of new additions to our extensive ilne.

The Company`s product line is a very broad array of decorative metal stampings, trims (solid embossed bandings and perforated filigree galleries) and a smaller line of grey iron and white metal motif castings. Our products have application in a multitude of industries including, but not limited to, residential and commercial architectural and interior accents, store fixtures (permanent and temporary), lamps, lighting and furniture, fireplace, decorative home accessories, ornamental ironwork, funerary, home and garden, giftware, and arts and crafts. In essence, our products are used wherever there is a need for decorative metal ornamentation!
