Supplying material to some of the country's largest companies, as well as to various shipyards, road projects, and construction sites up and down the east coast, Edward J. Darby & Son, Inc was a key contributor to the growth of the industrial sector in the United States.Even after an ownership transfer, Edward J. Darby & Son, Inc has remained a closely held family business, with previous owners, Joseph Campione and John A. Abruzzo.The current owners firmly believe that their predecessors were successful because of their commitment to provide customers with exemplary customer service, high quality products and competitive pricing.
