A Commitment Since 1860
Originally the company’s private markets were General Merchandise, Warehousing Household Goods, Storage and Moving, Transportation and Rigging. The Smedley Company has serviced these industries throughout the Northeast since its inception. The company was an original shareholder of the Allied Van Lines Corporation as well as a prime warehouse and forwarding service for such companies as Armstrong Rubber, Winchester Repeating Arms, Pond Lilly and AVCO Lycoming, to mention a few.
The focus has shifted in the past fifty years to more concentration in the markets of heavy hauling, rigging, plant relocations, crane rentals and millwright work. The company has seen steady growth in these areas and has developed a diversified clientele base.
