MILLER SAW-TRIMMER COMPANY
The Miller Saw-Trimmer Company, corner Penn avenue
and Water street, are the largest manufacturers of automatic
feeders for printing presses and the largest manufacturers of
printers’ saw-trimmers in the world. This company lo-
cated in Alma, Michigan, until 1918, and was brought, while
there, to the attention of the Pittsburgh Industrial Develop-
ment Commission. Investigation followed, which resulted
in the establishment of the company in Pittsburgh, where
in June, 1913, it was installed on the fifth floor of the Point
Building. This one floor was sufficient to house the entire
office staff, engineering and mechanical forces, which totaled
at that time thirty-five people. The plant now occupies the
entire eight floors of the Point Building as well as another
building adjoining. Its entire forces now total upwards of
sight hundred men and women.
In 1919, the Miller Saw-Trimmer Co., with its great
demand for perfect, intricate gray-iron castings, engaged in
the manufacture of its own castings by establishing the
Pittsburgh Gray Iron Foundry at South avenue and Walker
street, North Side, with up-to-date foundry machinery and
an organization of one hundred and fifty men. This foundry
is not only providing castings for the Miller Saw-Trimmer
Co., but has built up a very large commercial trade. Its
output is known as the most perfect casting in Western
Pennsylvania.
From the manufacture of a single product, namely Saw-
Trimmers, it has expanded to the building of Automatic
Printing Press machinery that has found a place not only
in this country, but in Great Britain, France, Germany,
Belgium, Holland, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Chili,
Paraguay, Peru, Argentine Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Mexico, Porto Rico, Japan, China, India, Java, Aus-
tralia, Philippine Islands and throughout the entire Dom-
inion of Canada.
