Company History After almost 30 years of doing business as Conant Custom Brass, Inc., we've decided to change our name to Conant Metal & Light, Inc.
The opportunity arose in April when Weems and Plath, a nautical instrument maker in Annapolis MD, acquired our weather instrument manufacturing division and the "Conant Custom Brass" brand name.
This transition left our job shop and retail divisions well positioned to take advantage of the strong domestic market for specialized decorative metalwork and innovative lighting solutions. Since our passion and focus is on metalworking and lighting, the name change was a no-brainer.
No other changes were made. Our corporate structure, address, tax & employer ID numbers, address etc. all remain unchanged. Please reference our new name, Conant Metal & Light, Inc. in all communications.
As Conant Metal & Light, Inc., our mission is "To be recognized nationally as a creative force working wonders with metal and light" and you play an important role in helping us fulfill this mission. The future is bright for Conant Metal & Light, and we look forward to working with you under that name.
Conant Custom Brass was founded in 1979 by Stephen Conant, then a 23-year-old kid with a passion for metalwork and a college degree to back it up. From a small brick garage illuminated by two fluorescent shop lights, Steve soon established a reputation as a preeminent craftsman with a knack for restoration and custom metalwork.
Now that kid is 50 years old, and the one-man shop he established has grown to occupy 18,000 square feet, employ 20 talented and dedicated workers, and house a store full of treasures, including some 3,000 lights, old and new.
Today Conant Metal & Light Inc. is recognized internationally by architects, designers, and discriminating consumers as a creative force working wonders with metal and light. We provide a complete line of brass-related services, including antique restoration and repair and the fabrication of custom hardware and light fixtures. The scale of our work ranges from one-of-a-kind pieces to production runs of any number.
We stand behind our Mission Statement and our commitment to quality. All metal products crafted by Conant Metal & Light are guaranteed for life, with the expectation that these products will eventually become cherished antiques! We will repair or replace, free of charge, any product found to be defective in materials or workmanship.

"On many occasions now, Conant Metal and Light has taken our sometimes loose lighting ideas and napkin sketches and brought them to life in the form of unique and stunning lighting fixtures. The staff is never at a loss for ideas in engineering and problem-solving, and they are very eager to explore different techniques and processes when the ordinary just will not do.
"In a business where deadlines are a matter of life and death, the folks at Conant Metal and Light have always have kept their cool and delivered the product on time. And they always seem to have ideas to keep the project within budget.
"It has been many years now that Balthazar and Pastis have opened and are now well-established New York institutions. I still hear rave reviews on the lighting. People call me and wonder where they can buy the same fixtures.
"We could not have done it without Conant Metal and Light. Thank you so much for all the help you have given us over the years. I look forward to working with you on many projects to come."
