OUR HERITAGE

Metal Forms Corporation (MFC) is a century-old company that designs, engineers, manufactures and markets quality products for general and concrete construction.

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

MFC was established in 1909 and became the first company to successfully design and produce steel forms for building monolithic concrete homes. This innovative spirit has continued for over 100 years with the development of a diverse product line identified by familiar registered trademarks.

In 1910, the company produced forms used to build hundreds of concrete homes inspired by the famous inventor, Thomas Edison.

In the early 1900s, concrete paving forms were introduced to support the heavy roadbuilding machines. Some of these machines were designed by Phillip Koehring (co-founder of the Koehring Machine Company) and brother-in-law of G. H. Miller (President of MFC).

Increased sales volume during the depression

MFC’s work week was raised to 55 hours and business was up 30% and an additional 20% in 1931. Construction of public buildings and roads were the main sources of the strong business atmosphere for MFC amidst the financial woes of many during the depression years.’
