Ernest D. Menold, Inc., 445 Powhattan Avenue, Lester, PA (2026)

Menold, Inc., bears the name of its founder, a skilled sheet metal worker who started his own company in 1947. With a fabricating facility about the size of a one-car garage, we started by serving industrial and pharmaceutical companies in the Philadelphia area. From the very beginning we developed expertise in the fabrication and installation of dust and fume control systems for grain and sugar m

ills, sophisticated HVAC systems and specialty stainless steel fabrications for pharmaceutical companies, special cooling systems for power generating plants, paper mill maintenance and upgrade projects, and a variety of other special services for the industrial and commercial market. We are especially proud of the fact that several of our earliest customers are still steady customers today. Over the years our size and capabilities have increased, but our focus remains the same: Customer Service. In addition to all the services listed above, our trained staff and skilled workforce can test and balance new or existing air handling systems. Our firm is a certified member of the National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) and all of our work in this area is subject to their rigid standards. We are also longstanding members of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA), and its local chapter, the Sheet Metal Contractors Association of Philadelphia and Vicinity (SMCA). We are also members of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The leadership of our company has been involved in many committees and task forces associated with both of these organizations on the national and local levels.

We fabricated and delivered this Video Monolith for a trade show and exhibit design customer. The structure was fabricated out of aluminum, with rolled 3" pipe and 1/4" aluminum late. The structure was later powder coated to satin silver finish.

Back on May 6th at Rose Tree Park in Media, PA, law enforcement from across Delaware County took part in a Rededication Ceremony of the Delaware County Law Enforcement Memorial at Rose Tree Park honoring officers who have died in the line of duty in the county.

We were contracted by the Delaware County Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation to assist in expanding the memorial to pay tribute to the men and women of law enforcement who have made ultimate sacrifice.

The plaque mounting stanchions were fabricated out of 11 and 16 gauge stainless steel, fully welded to be weather tight, polished, and ground smooth. The surfaces of the mounts were polished to a 120 grit orbital finish. We completed the install of the additional plaques in the fall of 2025. The ceremony for the expanded memorial was held in the rain on May 6th.

It was an honor for us as a company to place a part in building the memorial: a dedicated space where survivors of the fallen, fellow law enforcement officers, and members of the broader community can gather in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
