Business Summary:
O&M Steel Fabricators is a minority owned company that manufactures residential steel frames and light-gauge commercial steel. O&M also provides framing services for residential steel frame erection. The newly-formed company is the result of extensive research, innovations in steel fabrication technology, and market opportunities that will exist for the next ten years and beyond. Technological advances in software and hardware integration have produced evolutionary methodologies in steel fabrication which enable small companies to manufacture high quality steel framing studs and trusses with the same precision that once could only be produced in steel mills.
