Know the Metal. Know the Machinery. Know the Market.

Harry founded H.E. Phipps Co. Inc. in 1987. At the time of his death, he was a 60-year veteran of the aluminum industry — a career that began in 1955 as a metallurgical engineer for Alcoa.

Over the decades that followed, Harry managed casting, rolling, and coil coating plants, and helped develop Reynolds' Particle Sheet process. He ended his corporate career as Executive Vice President of the largest Hazelett casting operation of the day before starting the company that carries his name.

Harry passed away on December 9, 2015. His technical knowledge and reputation for straight dealing remain the foundation the company is built on.

Ron has 31 years of experience in the aluminum industry and in international equipment sales, with in-plant presence in over 36 countries.

He joined the company in 1992 and restructured it, building the worldwide sourcing network and export capability that lets H.E. Phipps Co. Inc. handle a deal from first phone call through installation and start-up.

Today, Ron leads the company's day-to-day work with buyers and sellers — and remains the direct point of contact for every inquiry.
