Culpeper’s businesses, age old and brand new, support each other
Graced with small-town charm, natural
beauty, history and deep agricultural roots, Culpeper County has always possessed a winning combination of established and new businesses. Culpeper’s oldest businesses are
foundations and community partners to the newer ones — they are the roots that anchor and nourish new economic growth. “I’ve had the privilege of witnessing
fi rsthand what makes Culpeper an exceptional place for business. T e warmth and support of this community, coupled with its rich history, have been pivotal in our company’s journey,” said Bingham & Taylor President and CEO Laura Grondin. Bingham & Taylor, founded in 1849, is
among Culpeper’s oldest fi rms. In October 2023, the company
celebrated the two-year expansion and
upgrades at its Culpeper foundry, marking a signifi cant milestone in their history. T e implementation of the electric-melt
system signifi cantly increased production capacity, resulting in the addition of 32 hourly and 13 salaried/professional jobs. During the last fi ve years, the company invested $23 million in this expansion. “T is is the most signifi cant investment
that Bingham & Taylor has made in Culpeper since purchasing the shuttered Culpeper Foundry and Machine Company, founded by Eugene Nalle in 1910, in the 1940s,” she continued. Grondin appreciates Culpeper for many
reasons. “Culpeper’s inviting business
environment, its skilled workforce, and the unwavering support of local leaders have all played pivotal roles in our achievements
