In 1921, the Apprenticeship system was founded, with George Reissler serving as instructor. Prior to this, the only teachers known to the apprentices were journeymen. John N. Knoll served as instructor from 1936 to 1945. Class size varied from 10 to as high as 28 through these years. Today, our Apprenticeship Program boasts nearly 70 enrollees... We represent the men and women of the union piping industry in all of Stark and Wayne counties and parts of Carroll county.
