Our Story

 

In 1902, C. J. Young, a Swedish immigrant, established a blacksmith shop in Seattle's SODO district to support the thriving logging industry.  Young's wire rope blocks and rigging equipment are still considered the industry standard. 

 

Today, Young Corporation features 80,000 square feet of manufacturing space with numerous burning, forming, fitting, welding and line boring machines.  Our state of the art burn table can plasma cut up to 3-inch plate and torch flame up to 8-inch plate.  We have turning capability up to 50-inches.

 

Young Corporation is the leading manufacturer of Orange Peel Scrap Grapples, Clamshell Buckets, Long Fronts and Material Handlers.  Young products are often seen at scrap yards, recycling facilities, ditch or jetty work, logging yards and barges.
