History
The history of Strongwell and its predecessor companies dates back to 1924. In that year the first phase of what is today Strongwell's corporate headquarters and largest plant was built in Bristol, Virginia. Originally a furniture factory, a number of products were built there in the early years including aircraft, radio and TV cabinets and, during World War II, carbon parts for weaponry.

During the 1940's, the first work in reinforced plastics was done at the plant. In 1956 the first production utilizing the process, then known as "the continuous automatic process" and today known as "pultrusion," was done. Three years later in 1959, the company began producing fiberglass ladder rail, which remains a major product for the company today.
