Incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1960,
Modern is guided by the vision of a strong work ethic, a thirst for
knowledge, and mutual respect.
With family ownership, the founder as president, five sons as managing officers, and many other managers and employees who have grown with the business, Modern has been able to make decisions based on long-term benefit rather than short-term gain. |

In 1946 Modern's customer base was within 50 miles of Erie and limited to about 12 of the larger corporations in the area. Customers had limited engineering capability with requirements and specifications varying from broad to unsure. | |
