In 1946 Ed Hoskin pulled a trailer load of decorative aluminum extrusions purchased from the William L. Bonnell Company in Youngstown, Ohio to San Francisco. He rented a garage and started wholesaling metal. In 1948 Denis Muir joined him as a partner, and Hoskin & Muir was born. For decades we sold aluminum trim throughout the Western United States and the Pacific from Aspen, Colorado to Agana, Guam. Our customers included hardware stores, lumber yards, floor covering shops, mirror and glass houses and various manufacturers. In the mid 80’s we started selling aluminum extrusions to the shower door industry and this segment of our business became increasingly important to us.
