About Us

Family Owned Business since 1932

 

     WH Fitzgerald, Inc. is a fourth generation family business operating in Warren County Pennsylvania since the midst of the Great Depression in 1932.  Our founder William H Fitzgerald was the son of Irish immigrants who came from the coal belt of central Pennsylvania before paved roads or electrification.

​

   His friend & neighbor Clinton Wilder established a coal fired forge and machine shop in the town and Fitzgerald transported finished products to their destinations and coal back to the forge. 

​

   Travel was primitive by todays standards and his two axle Dodge & Studebaker trucks shared the dirt roads with many horse drawn vehicles and foot traverlers.

 Our

Mission
