History

The history surrounding McKees Rocks Industrial Enterprises, Inc. (MRIE), a dynamic bulk materials handling and warehousing distribution company located just outside of downtown Pittsburgh, PA, is one that is rooted in humble beginnings. MRIE was founded in the early 1960's by two prominent real estate attorneys, subsequent to their purchase of the Pressed Steel Car Company site, an expansive and strategically located, 85 acre site, situated at mile point 4 on the Ohio River.

This period of time also offered new opportunities for market expansion, service diversification and company growth. Accordingly, the partnership's focus on the company as a real estate related venture, switched to that of a focus on establishing MRIE as a bulk materials handling and warehousing operation. Successful capitalization on niche opportunities within the bulk materials handling and warehousing industry, has both contributed to our success in establishing an industry name, and has also enabled us to differentiate ourselves from competitors via our strong emphasis on customer service and long lasting customer relationships.
