The C.C. Korns Company was started in 1916 by Clarence Clinton Korns. Mr. Korns was an engineer with the United States Steel Company in Johnstown. As such, he observed a need for and designed and patented three electrical conduit supports. These three clamps are the Right Angle, Parallel and Edge type.
His inventions are still in use today with no significant product design changes. In the beginning the clamps were painted to prolong their life. But in 1956 C. C. Korns purchased a centrifuge. This piece of equipment, coupled with the addition of a galvanizing kettle, permitted Korns to begin to hot-dip galvanize the iron and steel components used to assemble the Korns Clamps.

The benefit of using zinc in the preservation of iron and steel has been known since the early 1800's. Over the last 200 years the process has not changed significantly. Hot-dip galvanizing produces a coating resulting from a metallurgical reaction between the liquid zinc and iron in the steel. The coating consists of four layers, three of which are zinc-iron alloys and the fourth (top layer) of pure zinc.
Korn's Galvanizing Company Inc. Galvanizing strives for excellence in Quality by taking the time to ensure all employees have a full understanding of all Quality and Inspection procedures. We currently have 6 employees certified through the American Galvanizers Association in Inspection of Hot - Dipped Galvanized Steel.
Korn's Galvanizing Company Inc. is a provider of Hot-Dip Zinc Galvanizing for Ferrous Metals. Korn's Galvanizing Company Inc. is a premier hot-dip zinc galvanizer, and we serve over 15 major industrial sectors. Hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, cast steel, ductile and cast iron will have enhanced service-life after being hot-dip galvanized.
Most iron containing materials are suitable for hot-dip galvanizing. Hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, cast steel, ductile and cast iron will have enhanced service-life after hot-dip galvanized. Structural steel shapes, including those of high-strength (under 150 ksi/1100MPa) and low alloy materials are hot-dip galvanized after fabrication to obtain long lasting protection.
There will be no difficult field repairs and no labor and material costs associated with those repairs. Left unprotected, steel fasteners will corrode and suffer loss of mechanical properties and integrity. Hot-dip galvanizing prevents this corrosion by metallurgically bonding the zinc coating with the underlying steel.
