Correction, Not Perfection

Category: Announcements || By Jason Togyer

A 2007 article about McKeesport's former Fort Pitt Steel Casting Co. incorrectly stated that the company was taken over by Connecticut-based Conval.

In fact, according to Frank Siver of Conval Inc., Fort Pitt was taken over by a Connecticut-based company called Condec Corp., which tried to market its products as "Conval" valves.

"We, in fact, took legal action against Condec over the use of the name 'Conval,'" he says. Conval Inc. was incorporated in 1967 by Mr. Siver's father, Chester A. Siver, to make valves for the world's power generating utilities. Conval remains independent and has no connection to the former Condec Corp., or to Fort Pitt Steel.

Tube City Online regrets the error and appreciates the opportunity to correct it.
