Laurel Awning Company makes and services awnings, carrying on a business heritage that began in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, in 1913 as Culp Awning Company. The company says its predecessor firms have worked in the awning and industrial fabric business for more than 100 years; its Pittsburgh operation moved to a 28,000-square-foot facility in Vandergrift, and a Philadelphia branch was established in 2008. It serves residential and commercial customers with custom awnings and seasonal installation, storage, cleaning, and repair work.
