About Us

We are a certified woman-owned, family-operated custom steel fabrication company based in Newton, Kansas. Since 2001, we have built a reputation for precision, consistency, and reliability.

Our mission is to provide precision steel fabrication with integrity and consistency while supporting our employees, investing in their growth, and maintaining a family-oriented culture built on respect and accountability.

Our operation runs out of a 92,000 sq. ft. facility on 12 acres, with a dedicated staging lot that allows us to handle projects of all sizes and complexity. We are not a production shop—every job is different. We solve problems, build to spec, and deliver quality work.

We operate in a fast-paced, hands-on environment where no two projects are the same. Success here comes down to ownership, problem-solving, and execution.
