That's the Minerallac Story!
For more than a Century, Minerallac has set the standard for quality

As the orginator of such products as the conduit hanger and one-hole strap
in the early 1900's, the name "Minerallac" is well-known and trusted by electrical
contractors throughout the world. Today Minerallac is the premier source

Minerallac History ...
How Minerallac Got Its Name!
FOUNDED IN 1894, Minerallac is known for inventions that electrified
an industry. Born out of a need to solve an overheating problem associated
with early 1900 electrical transformers, our founder, Mr. Louis Ferguson, invented
a cooling agent made from mineral oil and lacquer -- thus the name "Minerallac" was
born.
Led by Mr. Ferguson, Minerallac began inventing and patenting many of the electrical
fasteners used to distribute electricity to our homes and businesses. Beginning in
1904 with the invention of the conduit hanger, followed in 1913 with the one-hole strap,
Minerallac continues its innovations through today. With over 1500 different types and
styles of supports, Minerallac offers to meet today's demanding requirements. "Quality
that saves you time" is not just our slogan, but our commitment.
