About
In 1894, George Spang founded Spang & Company as an oil repair shop in Butler, Pennsylvania, marking the beginning of a remarkable 130-year journey in American manufacturing. The company evolved from its early roots serving the oil and gas drilling industries to become a diversified manufacturing powerhouse. Through the decades, Spang & Company expanded into various sectors, including refractory specialties for the steel industry, steel structure fabrication, and even owned retail operations across Western Pennsylvania. By the 1980s, the company had pivoted toward electrical and electronic manufacturing, a strategic move that positioned it for long-term growth in emerging technology markets. Today, Spang & Company operates through three distinct product lines: Spang Engineered Solutions, Magnetics, and Spang Power Electronics. The company designs, produces, and supplies precision soft magnetic components and materials to the electronics industry, while also providing custom engineered solutions to the power industry. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company maintains a global presence with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Xiamen, China, and sales offices worldwide including Hong Kong. Spang & Company serves critical industries such as aerospace, defense, medical devices, electric vehicles, alternative energy, and industrial power, demonstrating its commitment to engineering excellence and innovation for over a century.
