Christian Rabe
started his company in 1916 as a Plumbing Contractor. His goal was
to provide the services of his craft with integrity, quality and competitive
pricing.
In the later 1940's the company provided subcontract installation
services for an emerging technology: air conditioning. In 1954,
Anthony Patrizia joined the company bringing with him the York air
conditioning distributorship. Sales and installation was now under
one roof, and the company was chartered as a registered Pennsylvania
Corporation.
With this new leadership and focus, Rabe expanded its range of related
services with the following milestones:
- 1971 Sheet Metal Fabrication
- 1972 Design Build
Capacity
- 1986
Commercial/Industrial Piping
- 1987 Temperature
Controls
- 1989
Commercial/Industrial Plumbing
- 1992 Industrial
Process Piping
- 1995 Energy
Management
- 1999 Performance
Contracting
- 2000 ISO 9001
Quality System Registration
- 2007 Prefabrication and Assembly
From the original urban
storefront location, the company increased it's plant capacity numerous
times. Present facilities consist of a corporately owned 32,000
square foot facility constructed in 1985, that includes a pipe
fabrication and automated sheet metal fabrication plant.
Convenient access to Interstates 79 and 90 as well major Erie highways
aids the efficiency of Rabe's 100 plus workforce.
After more than eight decades, Christian Rabe's company now provides a
complete range of mechanical construction services and still meets his
goal of integrity, quality and competitive pricing.
