Although it's probably not a good source of Vitamin C, Tang Industries "is" a diversified holding company. Its largest subsidiary, National Material, is a metal fabricating and distributing company that provides stamped steel products and recycles and trades aluminum and scrap metal. It operates facilities throughout North America and in China and sells to South America, Europe, and the rest of the Far East as well. Tang also has investments in pharmaceuticals and real estate. It was founded in 1960 by Cyrus Tang after he bought a small metal-stamping shop that has grown into National Material.
