Our company was
established in 1895 by James Mawson, hauling goods by horse and wagon from
the docks in Philadelphia to the local area.
In December, 1928 James' son Kenneth entered into a partnership with his
father, continuing to transport by motor vehicle, interstate and intrastate
commerce under the name Mawson & Mawson. They expanded the operation,
hauling gypsum board, iron and steel, and heavy machinery through Eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York City, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
On February 4, 1941 James passed away leaving Kenneth as the surviving
partner. At this time, Kenneth entered into a partnership with his wife
Elizabeth. In the spring of 1947 Mawson and Mawson became incorporated.
 Robert J. Durbin, purchased
the company in April, 1953 and directed growth through the remainder of the
50's and 60's, specializing in over-dimensional loads of structural steel
and heavy machinery, while expanding our services to include Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio through an interlining agreement.
During the year of 1968, Al Zeffiro Transfer & Storage, Inc. and Zee
Corporation were purchased to give us the ability to service Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia directly.
Through the 1970's the company changed from servicing primarily structural
steel and machinery to sheet steel and tin plate products that we still
specialize in today.
In 1980, we experienced deregulation, which led us to close our subsidiary,
Al Zeffiro Transfer & Storage. We have since expanded our service area
to the 34 states east of the Rocky Mountains, and the Provinces of Ontario
and Quebec, Canada.
Throughout the 1990's, Mawson & Mawson, Inc. further expanded our
service into the aluminum industry. The company also further focused on
quality delivery for all sheet products, with the use of specialized
trailers, for proper securment and protection of the product.
In April 1993, Robert J. Durbin retired, and majority ownership is now held
by Timothy G. Durbin, who has been with the company since 1976.
We proceed into the new millennium with a firm foundation built on honesty
and integrity, we are committed to growing with our customers, by giving
superior service and on time delivery, in order to fulfill our goal to be
best in the industry.
