Founded in 1872
in Lafayette, Indiana, Schwab Safe Company is one of Lafayette's
oldest continuously operational industries. The Schwab Safe Company
early credits include horse drawn carriages, a wide range of castings
including stoplight bases and sewer grates and covers. Many of those
covers and grates are still in use in Lafayette and other communities
around the country.
In February
1964 Schwab Safe Company acquired the assets of the Midwest Safe
Company's Cannelton, Indiana plant, which we operate under the Schwab
name as well as the facility in Lafayette, Indiana.
On January 1,
2003, Schwab Corp. was acquired by two private investors, Donald
J. Ehrlich and Steven W. Norfleet of Lafayette, Indiana. As a result
of the acquisition, the Company has been recapitalized to allow
for a period of growth. The new management team has a proven record
in manufacturing and product design. With new people in the areas
of sales, engineering and manufacturing, we anticipate that we will
soon be at the forefront of our industry. We will focus our efforts
on new product development, increasing the performance of on-time
delivery, and making changes in the manufacturing process to incorporate
more contemporary machines and procedures. We are very excited about
the future of the Company and look forward to combining new ideas
with a very experienced and devoted workforce. We are committed
to our customers, suppliers and associates to become the industry
standard in providing the highest quality products and customer
service.
Today, Schwab
manufactures fire resistant file cabinets, media and record cabinets,
safes and vault doors for the architectural, industrial and residential
markets worldwide. Schwab continues to deliver high quality products
that have made the Schwab name synonymous with the highest craftsmanship
and dependability for more than 131 years.
To our valued
customers, we appreciate your loyalty over the years and proudly
present our product offering. For more information about our current
