They manufactured pharmaceutical chemicals. In 1881 Ms. Elizabeth Reade, a successful industrial chemist, and her husband completely relocated the family specialty chemical manufacturing business unit to Reade Street in New York City and renamed it Reade Manufacturing Co., Inc ( RMC ). Another element of the impressive Reade industrial family business settled in Readestown, Pennsylvania in the mid-1870's. Within their foundry they invented and worked to commercialize many futuristic steam and electricity inventions in the transportation industry. In 1905, RMC started size reducing nonferrous metals to manufacture a conductive paste product. This was the beginning of our proud and successful history in the particle business. In 1941 the RMC Metal Powder Division was opened in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The mission was to manufacture railcar and truckload lots of non ferrous metal powders for various government and industrial markets in the Americas. During the Second World War, the RMC Metal Powder Division received two U.S. Army/ U.S. Navy "E" Awards for production excellence on 5 January 1945.
