Before I talk about one of the nicest guys I’ve met in the industry, a cool little history lesson.
Back in 2014, industrial PVF manufacturer The Phoenix Forge Group had its Catasauqua, Pa., location declared a state historic marker. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Phoenix, then known as Bryden Horse Shoe Works, produced a wide variety of horseshoes that were supplied to the British War Department during and after the Boer War. Bryden’s name changed to Phoenix in 1928.
