Ross was formed in 1962 by Donald E. Speicher out of a passion for fabricating metal and a knack for developing creative technologies that challenge the status quo and advance product design. These founding principles have guided Ross extremely well for over 5 decades and remain at the core of what drives the company going forward.
Ross is a group of dedicated individuals, who like their founder, have a commitment to precision, desire to innovate and a stubborn belief in conducting business with integrity. We are engineers and project managers. We are skilled tradesman, subject matter experts and support staff. We are many people working together to build stronger, safer environments.
Based in Lancaster County PA, Ross manufactures Structural Steel I-Beam Racking Systems. Operating out of 250,000 square feet of production space in 3 separate facilities, we serve worldwide markets from Kazakhstan to Cameroon, Moscow to London, and New York to LA. We are everywhere it matters.
Because our products are entrusted to preserve what matters to you, our commitment to quality is unwavering. Ross adheres to the world’s most exacting standards for total quality manufacturing. We continually work on improving our processes and utilizing technologically advanced equipment to ensure consistency.
We protect essential raw materials, costly manufacturing equipment, valuable end products and the people who handle them.
Progressive thinking, along with a focus on producing highly robust products, has earned Ross the reputation of being an industry leader. Ross specializes in designing and manufacturing products that are engineered, tested and certified to meet the highest industry standards for safety and reliability within their respective fields.
With over five decades of experience, we understand your business and have the knowledge to guide you through every project. And because your time is valuable, we don’t employ high-pressure salespeople, only skilled product specialists focused on meeting your technical requirements. We believe this approach facilitates long-term and mutually beneficial relationships.
Ross works alongside architects and engineers early in the design phase to provide vital support in the development of comprehensive specifications, drawings and designs that meet the latest industry testing standards, integrate with adjacent construction materials and satisfy targets for creativity and sustainability. We also play an active role in assisting contractors throughout the submittal, installation and key-turnover phases.
