Horwith Trucks, Inc.

In 1985, The Horwith Corporation diversified into real estate management and development with the purchase of 700 acres in Northampton, the cornerstone of which was the defunct Atlas Cement Company, known for providing cement for the Panama Canal and Empire State Building. Frank Horwith envisioned new industry at the Atlas, job creation, environmental stewardship, and preservation of history. His vision fostered the "powerful rebirth" of the Atlas that converted cement dust into clean electric and steam production via the technology of cogeneration. Today, U.S. Generating Company (Bethesda, Maryland), and Ponderosa Fibres(Baltimore, Maryland) are the major investors with cogeneration and paper recycling facilities, respectively. At the core of Horwith's vision was recycling - of a site, buildings, jobs, waste coal, waste paper, and the wonderful memories of a cement era gone by.

The Horwith Companies operate a convenient transfer station to facilitate the mobilization of salt and grain via truck or rail. The facility includes a 100,000 square foot warehouse, inside/outside bulk storage, tressel dumping station, conveyor/stacking equipment, siding/dock unloading with 4,800 feet of truck space, 60 foot truck platform scale, rail care storage for 100 cars, wheel loaders and 20,000 pound fork lift, and direct rail to highway access and shipping.
