Man of Steel
From Alaska's Eielson Air Force base to New York's Roosevelt Hospital, from Fore Systems' cafeteria to home kitchens, people everywhere are preparing, serving and enjoying food on Pittsburgh Manufacture and Installers' stainless-steel countertops.
"Nowhere is too far as long as it's done right," says Gary Anthony, president and owner of this West Homestead-based manufacturing company, and it is this emphasis on quality that has forged his success.
His 14-gauage, non-corrosive stainless-steel counters are made by hand entirely on site. The craftspeople allow no more than a quarter-inch of wiggle room for a snug fit, and because Pittsburgh Manufacturers and Installers produces commercial products as well, all of it's work must meet strict National Sanitary Foundation codes.
But these technical stats only tell half the story. With his shimmering-gray business cards and metallic-silver pants, it's obvious Anthony is a man who is passionate about stainless. "Even now I'm still amazed by it," he says, "how you can take a flat sheet of steel and turn it into so many wonderful designs." And personal designs.
Anthony, who learned the business more than 30 years ago from his father-in-law, can come to your home to measure and design a countertop that fits your existing cabinetry and your lifestyle. Choose the size, shape, contour and finish of your counter, backsplash and edge. With your new counter, your kitchen can have the clean industrial look of a professional cook space, or change the die and edge molds to have a highly polished dream kitchen.
The design possibilities are endless, and because every counter is completely custom built, so are your choices. The company can also make wooden or steel counter bases, industrial-strength sinks, hoods and stainless steel tables to compliment your new counters.
"It's quality stuff, and we want it right," says Anthony. "To me it separates us from the other guys." Counters start at $550. Pittsburgh Manufacturers and Installers, Forest and West 8th Ave., West Homestead. (412) 461-1463
