Founded in Newark in 1937 as a mirror re-silvering shop, Fred Silver & Co. now makes convex and dome-shaped safety and security mirrors for visibility in settings such as warehouses, retail aisles, and traffic areas. The company expanded its mirror work into acrylic products and, after acquiring Ketcham Company in 1992, also operates a medicine-cabinet business. Fred Silver remains active under the Silver family, with Andrea Silver Schlossberg and Martin Schlossberg continuing the company after Fred Silver’s passing in 1989.
