Roebling & Sons in a wire rope mill, eventually becoming a supervisor, about a decade before Strand Core’s founding,” Brown explained. “During that time, we lived in Roebling, New Jersey.” Roebling & Sons actually built


the town for migrant workers for the mill back in the early years. Brown Jr. ultimately left in 1972 to work as a supervisor in the wire rope mill at U.S. Steel in Trenton, New Jersey. Around that time, he also purchased some equipment


of his own and established a relationship with Henry Schloss at Indusco. “Te relationship blossomed,”


remembered Brown, “and in 1973, Henry supplied him with the capital to start his own enterprise, Strand Core Productions, within the Indusco facilities in Baltimore.” For the next decade, the new business


saw slow to moderate growth. “In 1983, my dad bought Indusco’s share of Strand Core Productions, and we incorporated to become Strand Core, Inc.,” said Brown.


“In 1988, we moved to Westminster, Maryland, and continued to grow.” Strand Core worked out of both locations for about a year and a half until an expansion was added to the Westminster location, then moved in completely. “Te next nine years saw a lot of growth, and we continued to expand,” Brown said. “With no more room to do this at the Westminster facility, we searched and found the Florida Panhandle as a location for a new home.”
