Gannon & Scott Celebrates 90th Year

摘要

Gannon & Scott, a global leader in refining and assaying of precious metals, is celebrating its 90th year in business. The company was founded in 1919 in Providence, Rhode Island, by John Gannon, son of Irish immigrants and former bookkeeper, with friend Fred P. Scott, assayer from Conley & Straight. Wm H. Gannon joined the organization in 1920 and eventually passed away in 1966 while serving as President for Gannon & Scott. Having joined his family's business in 1953, Jack Gannon, third generation owner, took over the business in 1966, just as the country was about to enter an era of technological change and innovation fueled by the space program, electronics and personal computing that would expand the use of precious metals dramatically.
