Mr. Schaffer began supporting specialty stainless steel for the sugar industry, then through its inherent structural strength properties, grew into the bus frame and other transportation-related industries. In 2012, the company initiated a major transformation in order to support its customers with a wider variety of premium products and services tailored to meet our customers’ needs. We back our high-quality products with unsurpassed in-house experience and knowledge.

Crompion’s strong and effective processes allow us to deliver on our promises and consistently satisfy our customers. George M.
