Ascension Industries Inc. is a family-owned business located at 1254 Erie Avenue in North Tonawanda, NY. We pride ourselves in producing a wide variety of large size & weight machined components, ASME vessels, mechanical & electrical assemblies, skidded process & liquid filtration equipment for Fortune 500 as well as start-up companies. We serve many different markets including alternate energy, chemical & petrochemical, water & wastewater, refining, mining, food & beverage, and compressor industries. Historically speaking, Ascension Industries was founded in 1956 by John Kopczynski Sr. as St. Mary Manufacturing Corp. Our mission at that time was to provide high quality machining, tooling, automation systems and related manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers and other users in need of precision metalworking capabilities. In 1975, Mr. Kopczynski, along with his two sons Jack & Michael, founded Ascension Sheet & Metal Fabrication Inc. Over the years, both Kopczynski Family firms prospered & grew; becoming a well recognized manufacturing resource, not only in Western NY, but also throughout the United States & Canada. In 2001, both Corporations merged to become Ascension Industries Inc. which streamlined the organization's processes and allowed for the total integration of staffing, equipment, manufacturing, accounting, engineering, quality assurance, project management and sales efforts. As Ascension Industries, we are strongly committed to investing & building a team which preserves long-term, genuine,customer relationships that maintain & lead to the growth of our employees, suppliers & customers. Seeing the opportunity to expand our horizons, in 2003, Ascension Industries acquired the former Filtration & Separation Dynamics (FSD) of Angola, NY. With this acquisition we created a network of sales representatives across the country and internationally to assist our customers in their liquid filtration & separation needs. We are now the only manufacturer of genuine FSD, Durco/Duriron, AquaCare and Enzinger brand equipment & replacement parts. Since 1956, our companies have been building on our strong reputation for excellence, innovation and proven design/engineering experience. We make every effort to continually improve our existing businesses as well as invest in the latest technologies. Our vision of expert design & engineering for durable & ultra-reliable product & service drives each of our divisions.
