The McCabe Group, Inc. located on Bedford Street in Claysburg was formed by Paul A. and Louise McCabe when they purchased the former General Refractories facility in 1988. The plant had been closed for approximately 1 1/2 years at that time.

In 1989 a 50,000 square foot warehouse was erected. It wasn't long before more customers showed an interest and formed what is now known as The McCabe Group, Inc. Additional warehouses became necessary and were then added in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2001.

In 1998 the brick office building was cleaned and repointed and new windows were installed along with extensive interior work.
