American Sheet and Tin Plate Company was an American industrial company specialized in tinplate products. The company produced sheets of steel, coated with a thin layer of tin.

History

Early years

The earliest roots of the company trace back to November 1903 when the American Tin Plate Company and the American Sheet Steel company merged.[2]. By the time of the merge a total of seventy one plants were included in the consolidation of the companies.[3]

During April 1906 the company started the Sabraton Works plant at Morgantown, West Virginia at a time when the scarcity of steel was affecting the operation of tin plate plants.[4]

The company experienced labor unrest in 1919.[5]

The company was involved in a U.S. Supreme Court case (1937).[6]
