Alaskan Copper Works was founded as a marine coppersmithing company in 1913. Its major activities for the Pacific Northwest shipbuilding industry were forming and brazing piping, kettles, coils and other products made from copper, brass and bronze.

Beginning in the 1920's, many of the area's growing process industries, such as pulp and paper, which had relied on wood stave and cast iron as corrosion-resistant materials for their tanks and piping, welcomed the development of a new weldable alloy, silicon bronze. This alloy had special advantages in cost and corrosion-resistance. Alaskan Copper Works participated in the transition to this innovative metal and in the development of the welding techniques necessary for its proper fabrication.
