Mabe Steel was formed in 2007 by Bryan Mabe with two employees, two Lincoln welding machines and a pickup truck. For three years we traveled the country installing metal decking on industrial distribution centers and various other structures, subcontracting through other structural steel erectors.
As we were working for other steel erectors, we witnessed a need for quality erectors, and started pursuing our own steel erection work in the latter part of 2009. We purchased our first forklift and began setting steel.
In February 2010 Bryan sold some of the company to Josh Church and we went on chasing more work. Josh’s background in Steel Erection was exceedingly valuable, and the business took off.
