BEACON METALS, INC.
Beginning with the premise that good people could produce great results, Carl W. Buehner and his son-in-law, John C. Riches, founded Beacon Metals, Inc., as a start-up company supplying commercial aluminum windows and hollow metal doors. Their philosophy has positioned the company for tremendous opportunities since its founding in December of 1966. In the company’s early days, key individuals in addition to Beuhner and Riches included Hank Ombach and Beulah Knight. Today, Beacon Metals furnishes commercial and industrial doors and hardware on literally thousands of buildings, which include hundreds of thousands of doors and openings, facilitating public access and security, as well as meeting rigorous life safety and fire codes. The mission of Beacon Metals is to provide the highest level of value to its customers through competent, certified, licensed professionals and quality products. It strives to be a company of preference, to be financially strong, provide opportunities to its team members and sustain targeted, steady growth.
