We can find many companies that take their names from ancient mythology. Trojan, Argus, Amazon and Ajax are just a few. As far as the god Hephaestus is concerned there are a few major companies named for him and some named for the Roman name of the same god, Vulcan. Hephaestus Consulting Inc. is located in Pennsylvania. It is named after the lame god Hephaestus, who was the god of fire. He is also widely recognized as the patron deity of the metal workers. Being from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, I am very familiar with Hephaestus and his place in the steelworker’s culture. Hephaestus Consulting is a corporation involved in the reheating and heat treating furnace business.
There is also the famous Hephaestus Holdings, Inc. ("HHI”). This company is a subsidiary of Impact Forge Group, Inc. and Kyklos Bearing International, Inc. (“KBI”) subsidiaries. These companies combine to create the largest independent manufacturer of forged parts and a leading manufacturer of wheel bearings for the North American automotive industry.
