Vulcan Mythology
 Vulcan is the Roman and
Greek god of fire and the forge, and mythical inventor of
smithing and metal working. His Greek equivalent is Hephaestus.
His forges were under Mount Aetna on the island of Sicily. He was
smith, architect, armorer, chariot builder and artist of all work
in Olympus--dwelling place of the gods.
Vulcan is the son of Jupiter (Zeus) and Juno
(Hera), husband of Venus (Aphrodite) and is considered to be one
of the twelve Olympians. With the help of Cyclops, the one-eyed
giant, he made the thunderbolts of Zeus, the weapons of Hercules,
and the armor of Achilles.
Vulcan is symbolic of the metal industry, and
is particularly appropriate for our company as melters, casters,
rollers and fabricators of metal.
This aluminum statue of Vulcan is located in
the lobby of our corporate headquarters.
