Unlike many of today's political and social pundits, Frank Ziegler was never the least bit confused about the meaning of family, values, or family values . Everyone who knew F.C. Ziegler would be quick to tell you that his life and his work were the very essence of these terms.

In order to understand the kind of business that F.C. Ziegler Company is, you need only understand the kind of man F.C. Ziegler was. Born in South Dakota in 1900, his family moved to Tulsa when he was very young. Reared in a traditional Catholic family in an overwhelmingly non-Catholic part of the country, he developed a strong sense of community with his fellow parishioners at St. Francis Xavier Parish.

In 1929, during the birth of the Great Depression, he started a jewelry manufacture and repair shop. During World War II, local priests asked if he would begin making chalices and other sacred vessels. Considering it his duty to the Church, he said yes. It also happened to be a unique business opportunity at a time when opportunities of any kind were becoming increasingly rare.

With this little bit of providence, F.C. Ziegler Co. grew steadily, adapting to the many changes in the Church and in society. By 1965, it was one of the country's leading manufactures of ecclesiastical metalware. After Vatican II, many businesses in the industry failed, for various reasons, but F.C Ziegler Co. persevered. In the 1970's, the company instituted a delivery service. Shortly thereafter, branch stores were opened in Wichita, Kansas and the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Today, more than 70 years later, F.C.Ziegler Co. is the country's most integrated supplier, manufacturer and distributor of products to satisfy the needs of church institutions.

"F.C." oversaw the company's growth right up until his death in the summer of 1993. Through great faith and simple values, he understood that any business that dealt exclusively with the Church could only survive -and thrive- by maintaining an uncommon degree of honesty and integrity. And it is those qualities which he instilled in the operators of today's F.C. Ziegler Co. his children and grandchildren.

Remaining true to the character of our beloved founder, we at F.C. Ziegler Co. continue to provide the kind of service and value that only a family-run business understands.
