You may have noticed that in numerous galleries, books and articles over the past few years that industrial photographs are becoming quite popular. It appears that industrial ruins make great nostalgia photographs. Whether its crumbling brick factories or now vacant spaces with only weeds left behind, there is something about the past that grips us. These types of old photographs may well evoke nostalgia but they can often teach us of the future. At least that’s the way the people at MP&P look at it. In the historic roll surfacing photos we post of our earlier days brings the realization that you really cannot separate the people from the scene photographed.

Our history isn’t just rolls or technology or new methods. It’s really about dedicated people who helped us learn what worked and what didn’t. That’s one big reason that has kept our company at work for customers for a very long time. It is because every roll has a story behind it. That’s what builds customer confidence and allows us to meet ongoing challenges every day.

In 1954 America saw a mass vaccine against polio being given to children. The most popular show on television was “Father Knows Best.” Marlon Brando was in two hit movies of the year, “On The Waterfront” and “The Wild One.” A new trend started called DIY (Do It Yourself) as families tried to improve their homes themselves. Car engines continued to get bigger and more powerful. Gas cost 29 cents a gallon. Meanwhile Eugene and Thomas E. Nalband, with their father Thomas , wrestled with a way to improve resurfacing industrial rolls. Like most entrepreneurs, they willingly risked their future on starting a new business. This business would service customers by providing excellent work creating a true “customer experience.” They created a business atmosphere where the best talent would want to work and build their careers over the long term.

Since 1954 MP&P has been providing a range of fabrication, repair, hard coating, resurfacing and finishing services. The company holds an ISO 9001:2000 certification from the International Organization for Standardization. The family continues to guide the company while developing long-term relationships with customers near and far. Continuing to deliver top-quality chromium plating, surface finishing and fabrication, roll after roll. The Nalband family have a work ethic that keeps employees dedicated to innovation and service. Six decades and rolling into the future! Yes, it turns out that 1954 was a very good year.
