Nail company has historic ties to early America
MANSFIELD, Massachusetts (WBZ) Did you know one of the oldest nail companies around can be found in Mansfield?
“Tremont Nail is a 200-plus year old nail manufacturing company that started down in Wareham, Massachusetts,” Eric DeLong, the President of Tremont Nail and Acorn Manufacturing, told WBZ-TV.
That’s before the British burned it down in The War of 1812.
But the Brits couldn’t stop the Tremont Nail Company. They just took their nails and equipment to Mansfield and built a new factory out of nails where they made more nails!
“We are the last sole surviving full production square cut nail company in the world. The machines we use today were originally built in the mid 1800’s,” DeLong explained.
