Conyngham Sales Company

Conyngham Sales Company was founded in Conyngham, Pennsylvania in 1946 by Henry Dryfoos III. The company was formed to represent Great Lakes Steel Corporation in the sale and installation of Quonset Huts in the Central Pennsylvania area. Great Lakes became Stran-Steel Corporation in the early 50’s and shortly after, Stran stopped manufacturing Quonsets. In 1952, Mr. Dryfoos moved the company to the Washington, DC Metropolitan area and began concentrating on light gage steel framing and pre-engineered steel buildings.

In 1959, Henry Dryfoos IV joined the family business and Conyngham Sales went on to become one of the leaders in the sale of steel framing and pre-engineered steel buildings.

When Stran discontinued their light gage steel framing line in 1967, pre-engineered steel buildings became the sole product manufactured and sold. At that time, Conyngham Sales expanded their operation from strictly sales and installation to performing the entire general contract where Stran Buildings were the principal product involved.

In 1989 Stran Buildings, which had been purchased by Amca International Corporation in 1979, was merged with a sister company, Varco-Pruden Buildings and became VP Buildings, Inc. which it remains today. In 2008 VP buildings was purchased by Bluescope Buildings of North America, Inc. and the name “VP Buildings, Inc.” has remained the same. At the present time Conyngham Sales Company is their oldest builder, having been representing Stran/VP since 1946.

At present, all steel work, roofing, siding and insulation can be performed “in-house”. Our main emphasis is on the sales and installation of VP Buildings as a sub-contractor.
