When the founders of the company that would become Doric Products came together to discuss a name plate for their new concrete vaults, the administrative assistant of founder Elizabeth McCloskey suggested “Doric,” a word familiar to her from growing in up in a Greco-American home. The founders gravitated toward the name, knowing that ancient Greek architecture embodied the same qualities they hoped to instill in their new product: durability, character, strength and grace.

Since then, Doric has christened each of its products with a Grecian name, harkening back to those original qualities built into the first Doric vault.
