Background

Now doing business as Medford Fabrication, CSC, Inc. (DUNS 00-904-8463), was created from two operations, Medford Steel and Medford Blow Pipe. Both began in the mid-1940’s as separate companies. In 1961, these companies, along with four construction companies, merged into Concrete Steel Corporation. In 1972, the construction divisions were sold and the corporation changed its name to CSC, Inc. The independent steel fabrication subsidiary formed in 1969, Med-Fab, Inc., merged first with Medford Blow Pipe and later, in 1982, with CSC, Inc. Today, Medford Fabrication/CSC, Inc. is owned by the Thorndike family of southern Oregon. Annual sales range between 4 million and 10 million dollars.
