My family business, Patriot Aluminum Products, based in Louisa, Virginia, is the only American-owned-and-operated family business producing the full lines of aluminum and stainless electrical conduit products. We started operations in 2010. We currently employ 62 employees, which will grow to 75 by the end of the year.
