Who We Are
In 1981 Reitzel Swaim and Ron Space formed American Lifting Products, Inc. (the forerunner of ALP Industries, Inc.) in Parkesburg, PA. The company was relocated to Coatesville, PA in 1993.
The first major expansion occurred in 1983 when the acquisition of Pennsylvania Sling Company and Cobb Wire Rope and Sling Company added locations in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, PA, and Atlanta, GA.
During the 1980’s and 90’s, Carolina Chain and Cable Company, The Harding Company, Wayland Incorporated, Florida Wire Rope & Supply, and others were purchased. During this time ALP started new businesses in Aberdeen, NC; Parkesburg, PA; and Duncan, SC. Acquisitions were made in Tampa, FL (2000) and Tacoma, WA (2001). Another start-up location was opened in Las Vegas, NV in 2006.
ALP’s registered trademarks include Penco®, Saf-T-Grip®, Grip-Tite®, Redi-Grip®, Mulox®, and Tufskin®. PMS Blue is the trademarked color of ALP’s ratchet and lever type load binders. In addition, the combination of “orange and white” colored strands in wire rope is a registered trademark of ALP Industries, Inc.
In 2022 we joined Lift Solutions Holdings Company – a national industrial lifting solutions company focused on inspection, repair, and replacement products for overhead cranes, hoists and below the hook products.
