Southland Steel

What Southland Steel does

Southland Steel Fabricators Inc. is a privately held, family-owned (Lombardo family) structural steel fabricator founded in 1986 and headquartered in Greensburg, Louisiana. The company serves heavy-industrial end markets — Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing, Refinery, Power Generation, and Space Exploration — supplying structural steel, miscellaneous metals, custom pre-builds, and turnkey project delivery. Reported past project sizes range from 1,000 tons ($2.7M) to 24,000 tons ($120M), with cumulative output of more than 100,000 tons over three decades.

The operating stack is built around an integrated, in-house production model covering the full scope from digital detailing to finished, coated, and protected steel. Detailing is performed with industry-standard 3D modeling platforms (SDS/2 for connection design and PE-stamped engineering; Tekla for model-share and BIM coordination). Fabrication runs across two facilities totaling more than 600,000 square feet, equipped with $8M+ of CNC machinery, robotic coping cells, drill lines, plasma tables, and an automatic main beam line — together supporting nameplate throughput of 3,500 tons per month and more than 100 welding stations operating on day and night shifts. Finishing is differentiated by in-house fireproofing (intumescent, cementitious, cryogenic, and duplex products) and a 100,000 sqft on-site hot-dip galvanizing facility, both described as unique among US structural steel fabricators, plus a 20,000 sqft climate-controlled coating facility. Industrial coating services are marketed through a separate sub-brand, Southland Industrial Coatings.

Commercially, Southland operates a direct enterprise sales motion targeting EPCs and industrial owners; all projects are quoted per ton based on scope, specifications, and finishing requirements, with no self-serve or e-commerce channel. Certifications include AWS D1.1, CWB 47.1, ASME welding program, and AISC (fabrication facility plus complex coating facility). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external ownership.
