In 1939, George W. Cattrell and his sons began business as a small plumbing contractor in Toronto, Ohio. Three generations later, Cattrell Companies Inc. remains in Toronto and is one of the Tri-State’s most viable family-owned businesses.

During the 1970s and 1980s, sons George V. “Buster” Cattrell and Bob Cattrell worked to expand the capabilities, creating a general contracting division, an electrical division and adding two fabrication shops, one for piping and one for sheet metal. With the already busy mechanical division (HVAC and plumbing) in full swing, these added departments completed the one-stop, stream-lined construction shop it is now.
