H. Cross Company History
|
H Cross Company was established in 1939 as a
family owned business. Started by Henry and Charles McClary in the family
home to fill the needs of companies requiring refractory metal ribbon
strip and wire. Over the following decades we expanded to four
buildings and the fabrication of other materials and alloys such as
precious metals, nickel and super alloys, stainless steels and many
others. |

These materials are fabricated for uses such as Spectrographic
filaments, Medical devices, Electronic equipment, Defense systems,
Halogen, Short Arc, Metal Halide Lighting and many others. We were
the first company capable of rolling tungsten and molybdenum ribbon.
Throughout the years, using superior research and development by our
engineering staff, we are consistently improving upon our processes and
remain the state of the art in the field. We are often accomplishing what
was thought of as impossible. |
