Follansbee Dock Systems

THE HISTORY

Valley Manufacturing Inc., a fabrication company doing business since 1963, was the sole metal fabricator for Follansbee Dock Systems since 1999 and had previously been producing dock hardware for another major marine business for four years. All truss frames, truss hardware, wood dock hardware, pile/pipe holders, Mr. Lifter jet ski lifts, and specialty fabricated metal parts were manufactured in Valley’s facility, only five miles from Follansbee’s location.

On January 12, 2012, the owners of Follansbee Dock Systems announced their intent to sell the business. Almost immediately following the announcement, Valley Manufacturing made an offer to purchase Follansbee Dock Systems. After a couple of months, the deal was finalized, and Follansbee Dock Systems began operating as American Muscle Docks and Fabrication in a new 20,000 sq. ft. facility. Customers can expect from American Muscle Docks the same great products provided by Follansbee Dock Systems, the extraordinary marine industry experience of Valley Manufacturing, and an excitement within the business to create new and innovative products.
