Merrill Iron & Steel, now known as Merrill Steel, has established itself as a prominent player in the structural steel fabrication industry since its founding in 1962. Initially starting with a modest 5,000 square feet shop in Merrill, Wisconsin, the company originally focused on fabricating steel bulk storage bins for local farmers. The demand for their high-quality products facilitated rapid growth and expansion throughout the Midwest, and by the 1970s, they had transitioned to supplying structural steel for larger projects.
As their capabilities increased, Merrill Steel moved its operations to a larger 365,000 square foot manufacturing site in Schofield, Wisconsin, and further expanded by acquiring additional facilities in Springfield, Missouri and Camanche, Iowa. Today, Merrill Steel boasts nearly one million square feet of combined production area, specializing in complex structural steel and heavy plate fabrication. Their offerings include fully-integrated engineering, detailing, project management, fabrication, delivery, and erection services, catering to projects such as stadiums, hospitals, and skyscrapers.
Merrill Steel upholds a strong commitment to quality, delivering superior performance and satisfaction to its customers. Their operational efficiency is enhanced by owning their shipping facilities, which provides unparalleled speed and cost-saving benefits. Their dedication to integrity, respect, support, and accountability reflects their enduring mission to be a leader in the fabricated steel industry while benefiting the communities in which they operate. In their third generation of family ownership, they continue to innovate and grow, maintaining a forward-thinking approach in the highly competitive steel fabrication market.
