03 / Our story

Old-school grit.
Modern capability.

Frank B. Clayton's Sons traces its beginnings to circa 1898. From its home in Philadelphia's Nicetown neighborhood, the company works with contractors, plant managers, architects, and designers on custom metal projects.

The tools have changed. The focus on making the right part for the job hasn't.
