Berlin Steel

The Berlin Steel Construction Company is a metal fabrication company with headquarters in Connecticut and Virginia. Berlin Steel is the successor to Berlin Iron Bridge Company, and is credited as the architect of many historical bridges from the early 20th century, at least three of which have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History

In 1900, after the American Bridge Company acquired Berlin Iron Bridge Company, executives Daniel Bradley, George Sage, and Seymour Robinson split from American Bridge to form their own company; Berlin Construction Company.[1] The new company built dozens of iron and steel bridges in the style of the Berlin Iron Bridge Company up until the 1930s, when the company shifted their focus to miscellaneous and structural metals.[2][3]

In 1962, the company was renamed Berlin Steel Construction Company.[2][4]
