100 Year Anniversary

A Message From
The Latta Family

Much can be said about the first 100 years of A. Duie Pyle’s history, with countless Thanks owed to the many who have allowed Pyle to successfully travel this path that included many formidable challenges along the way.

Our success is owed to thousands of Pyle People whose unwavering dedication, loyalty and hard work over these first 100 years served our customers as we did our best to deliver on Pyle’s promise of Service First.

Our business's longevity, spanning a century, would not have been possible without the steadfast loyalty of our customers. This includes our inaugural customer who, in April 1924, entrusted their cargo to ride on Alexander Duie Pyle's very first truck. Lukens Steel Company, that pivotal first customer, has consistently chosen Pyle over the years, and remains a customer today. Originally a family-run business until its transition to a publicly traded company, Lukens Steel evolved into an integral part of Cleveland Cliffs, the leading producer of flat-rolled steel plate in North America. This lasting relationship highlights the critical importance of dedicated customers to our ongoing prosperity.

We also remain indebted to our vendors who have supported us over the many years, whether it was with products and equipment supplied for use in our business, or valued services upon which we relied.

Finally, a special debt of gratitude is humbly owed to our founders of the family business, Alexander Duie Pyle and Mary Ellen Pyle, and to the 2nd generation leaders, their daughter, Eleanor Pyle Latta and her husband James Latta, Jr. Their vision, values, and stewardship have laid the foundation for our success and continue to inspire us as we move forward into the future.
