About Us
Our history is over a century of craftsmanship and commitment to the highest quality. As technology and innovation change, one thing remains paramount, our people are the best to wield them.
History
More than a century of history and excellence began modestly: Alvin Hock's hand-lettered sign that read "Practical Coppersmith." Brighton — named for the Cincinnati neighborhood where he operated — produced copper kettles for the food industry and post-prohibition copper stills for more than 70 years.
In the 1980s, led by Alvin’s grandson, Jeff, Brighton became Brighton Tru-Edge and has grown to be the largest cold-form tank head fabricator in North America. Each Brighton head is finished with our signature beveled edge, and associated products are designed and fabricated with precision and dedication, which has served as the foundation of our company since 1914.

Culture
Our story is written with a commitment to meticulous detail and driven by innovation without sacrificing craft. Tales of men and women waking up at daybreak and leaving with pride in the work that's been done that day. At Brighton, we celebrate the craftsmanship and dedication it takes to produce the highest-quality product in the industry.
Safety
Safety is not optional at Brighton. Every employee participates in mandatory OSHA training, meets for monthly safety trainings and pre-shift safety discussions, and utilizes PPE requirements while on the shop floor. Our Human Performance Improvement tools helps prevent mistakes and lessen the impact when they happen.
Quality
We've built more than a century of history on the highest level of craft and delivery. Each product that leaves our shop meets the stringent quality specifications we set for ourselves and our customers have come to expect.
Innovation
We combine craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation to deliver precision-engineered tank heads, cylinders, and components. From the Tru-Edge bevel to Tru-Cut 3D Nozzle Hole Cutting, we embrace the technologies and innovations that meet today’s challenges and shape tomorrow’s possibilities.
