Moreng Telecom Products

The origins of Moreng Telecom Products can be traced back to 1902 when Joseph Moreng Iron Works was founded in New York City. The founder, Joseph H. Moreng was a Swiss ornamental ironworker and blacksmith. He started fabricating iron work for the local Western Electric (now Lucent Technologies) installers in 1912. In the early 1930’s his sons, Joseph H. (a graduate engineer) and George (a graduate architect) joined the business. They brought fresh and innovative ideas that helped award Moreng Iron Works with lucrative contracts in the burgeoning telecom industry. These contracts and orders included companies like New Jersey Bell, New York Telephone, and Western Electric. As the customer needs became more specialized, a new production facility was needed. Joseph and George moved the company to Ridgefield, NJ and added a sheet metal department. In the mid 60’s Joseph’s grandsons, Joseph H. Moreng Jr. and James R. Moreng (both graduate engineers) joined the company. They also brought new ideas and methods to allow the business to expand and diversify. The design and manufacturing of specialized products remained an important service, so precision sheet metal fabrication machinery and finishing equipment was added. In 1985, in order to meet the needs of the expanding business, the company was moved to a 45,000 sq foot building in Totowa, NJ. At the same time, it was decided that the company name should better reflect the nature of the business and Moreng Metal Products, Inc. was created. During this period everything from microwave towers to terminal lugs was manufactured for the Bell companies. After the break-up of AT & T; at the request of the local telcos; Moreng Metal Products began designing and marketing its own line of telephone hardware. In the early 90’s,its sales effort was increased and focused toward the expanding telecommunications industry. In 1997, in order to fully meet customer needs, management decided that a new company should be formed. This company, Moreng Telecom Products, would specialize in the design, fabrication, and sales of items specifically for the telecommunications industry. A 15,000 square foot addition was added to the existing Moreng Facility to house the new company. After just two years in operation both companies needed room to expand. Moreng Telecom moved to a separate 25,000 sq foot facility down the street. The next generation; Joseph C. (Communications, Advanced AutoCAD), Brett (Business Management, Advanced AutoCAD), and Kim (Human Resources, customer service) have influenced the company toward higher productivity and customer satisfaction through continuous quality improvement in all areas. With all the new generations’ hard work and commitment we will continue to meet out customer’s short lead times with competitive pricing, while providing the best customer service in the industry.
