Graycor Industrial Constructors builds strength in the greater Pittsburgh/Ohio River Valley areas.

PITTSBURGH, PA (May 2008) - Graycor Industrial Constructors Inc. (Graycor Industrial), a subsidiary of the Graycor family of companies, continues to increase its presence in the greater Pittsburgh/Ohio River Valley area. Focusing on metals and power industry clients, Graycor’s Pittsburgh operation has successfully landed projects for American Electric Power, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, Mountain State Carbon, U.S. Steel and Reliant Energy.

As the demand for power continues to increase, along with the globalization of the steel and metals industries, the future looks strong for the tri-state area power and metal producers. “The Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia industrial corridor has an abundance of strong metals and power companies making very significant investments here in this area. Coupled with an excellent and well-trained local work force, this offers tremendous opportunities for the future,” says Larry DiCicco, general manager, Graycor Industrial. “Graycor’s strong industrial resume along with the strengths of an experienced local workforce have created excellent regional opportunities for us.”

Since making a substantial commitment to the tri-state market in the past few years, Graycor Industrial has exceeded company objectives for the office. Current projects employ well over 200 supervisors and crafts personnel (including subcontractors) on work being executed from the office. Recruiting for these projects has been focused on local area talent.

Located just outside Pittsburgh in Coraopolis, Pa., Graycor Industrial’s Pittsburgh office serves industrial businesses within a 200-mile radius.
