Founded in 1954[1][2] by Ben G. Stone, SCAFCO Corporation (now the Stone Group of Companies) is a privately held company headquartered in Spokane, Washington. Initially producing steel culvert for the construction industry as Spokane Culvert And Fabrication Company, SCAFCO expanded in 1961[1] to manufacture grain storage systems and again in 1994[1] to produce steel framing products. The original culvert product division was sold in 1986,[1] and the name was changed to simply SCAFCO.[1] Both divisions currently operate out of two 75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) manufacturing facilities in Spokane, Washington.

SCAFCO manufactures many types of steel products including grain storage bins and silos, water tanks, steel studs, steel framing equipment, curved and slotted track, and resilient sound channel.[3][2] SCAFCO's grain storage systems have been installed in over 80 countries worldwide.[1]

As of 2017, the President and CEO is Lawrence Stone.[4]

Grain Systems Division

SCAFCO Corporation began manufacturing corrugated galvanized steel silos in 1961, producing silos with capacities ranging from 3 metric tons to over 16,000 metric tons and hopper bottom silo capacities ranging from 4 tons to several hundred tons. As stated on its website, SCAFCO is an advocate of the development of ethanol and biofuels as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.[5]

Steel Stud Division

Since its inception in 1994, SCAFCO's Steel Stud Division has grown to include 15 sales branches located throughout the Pacific Northwest and the West Coast in states such as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and California.[6]

Playfair Commerce Park

In June 2009, SCAFCO purchased 48 acres of the former Playfair race track from the City of Spokane for $2.1 million.[7] The site is now home to Playfair Commerce Park, which serves as the headquarters of SCAFCO Steel Stud Company and the Stone Group.[4]
