Our Story

In 1950, the Fey family—led by Regis F. Fey—founded Fey Steel Company in Mars, PA, establishing a trusted, family-owned fabrication shop dedicated to delivering the skilled steel fabricating services Pittsburgh’s growing industries relied on.

In 1985, Robert J. Fey and James H. Watts launched a joint venture at the existing Mars, PA facility, merging the next generation of Fey Steel Fabricating with J.W. Steel Fabricating. This partnership fueled exponential growth in national and international markets while expanding our local customer base.

In 1992, J.W. Steel Fabricating Company was incorporated, and the joint venture continued to thrive by embracing advancing technologies, driving continual improvements in engineering, drafting, fabrication, and overall process efficiency.

In 2006, the joint venture was consolidated under the single name J.W. Steel Fabricating Company, unifying operations and continuing the company’s legacy of excellence in metal fabrication.
 

Today, J. W. Steel Fabricating Company has the team, the technology, the facility and decades of experience to handle your next metal fabrication project with the highest standards of quality and customer service.
