Garrison Steel

What Garrison Steel does

Garrison Steel, Inc. is a privately held structural steel fabricator and erector headquartered in Pell City, Alabama, founded in 1992 and operating with 51–100 employees across two adjacent facilities on Industrial Park Drive — an office and estimating department at 1146 and a fabrication shop at 1122. The company's core offering is turnkey structural steel delivery: it fabricates and erects structural and miscellaneous steel for commercial, industrial, and institutional construction projects under a single dedicated project team, integrating both disciplines under unified ownership. It holds dual AISC certification as a Certified Structural Steel Fabricator and a Certified Steel Erector (SE/MD — Specialized Eagle/Metal Decks), and has developed specialized capability in Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS) Class Columns and large trusses, evidenced by work on the Auburn University Performing Arts Center.

The business is organized under a "Garrison Steel Group" umbrella with two internal operating divisions, Garrison Steel Fabricators and Garrison Steel Erectors, formalizing the integrated delivery model as a marketable differentiator. Service offerings include structural steel fabrication and erection, miscellaneous steel, equipment rigging and setting, and anchor bolt and embed survey verification. The firm maintains a workforce-development partnership with the Ironworker Training Center, supports a branded gear e-commerce store, and operates a Viewpoint (Vista) ERP-backed employee portal. Customer engagement is direct and project-based, with pricing quoted per project based on tonnage, complexity, and timeline.

Revenue is generated from one-time, project-based contracts with general contractors and project owners, primarily across the Southeast U.S. Named customers span higher education, professional and collegiate sports venues, healthcare, hospitality, memorials, and industrial manufacturing — including Auburn University projects, the Rocket City Trash Pandas' Toyota Field, Birmingham Barons Regions Field, Baptist Health System, Memorial for Peace and Justice, PraxAir, and Royal Canin. Marketing relies on a project-gallery website, LinkedIn presence, and display of AISC, OSHA, ABC, and SteelSub affiliations. No public revenue, funding, or ownership-structure data is disclosed, and the company is not an investor-backed or public entity.
