Emerald Steel Fabricators

What Emerald Steel Fabricators does

Emerald Steel Fabricators, Inc. is a family-owned structural steel fabrication and machining company founded in 1975 and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon. The company operates a five-acre industrial site with 25,400 square feet of shop space, including an enclosed 50'x50' paint and sandblast facility, and delivers projects from raw steel to finished, assembled, and painted product at a single location. Its customers are primarily regional contractors, other steel fabricators, steel service centers, and manufacturers needing processing, machining, or custom fabrication support on tight schedules.

The company's three core service lines are Steel Processing (CNC beam/drill line for beams, channels, angles, and tees with drilling, tapping, countersinking, milling, and plasma/flame cutting), Fabrication (custom welding meeting AISC and AWS specifications, including structural steel, miscellaneous metals, material handling, conveyor systems, and sawmill equipment), and Machining (a full-service machine shop with 14 CNC machines plus manual horizontal boring mills, vertical machining centers, lathes, planer mills, and presses). All fabrication meets or exceeds AISC/AWS specifications, and welders are AWS certified.

Emerald operates as a project-based, quote-driven job shop with a sales-led go-to-market built on repeat business, referrals, and responsiveness to hot-rush and R&D projects. The company is led by President Don Mathews and General Manager Dennes Mathews, is privately held with no institutional or external investors disclosed, and serves a regional US market with no documented geographic expansion beyond Oregon and the broader Pacific Northwest.
