Metaltech Products celebrates 20th anniversary
- June 6, 2018
- News Release
- Shop Management
Metaltech Products Inc. is marking 20 years in business at its facilities in Eldridge, Mo. The company is owned by Darrel and Dana Bishop, its first two employees when Metaltech opened its doors on June 1, 1998.
Darrel Bishop gained much of his manufacturing and management know-how by working his way up at Marathon Electric in Lebanon, Mo., and later at Electrovert, which now is ITW EAE of Camdenton, Mo.
In late 1997 Electrovert was having trouble finding a vendor for large machine frames. So the Bishops built a 4,000-sq.-ft. facility in Eldridge and added GMAW and GTAW machines, a hydraulic ironworker, a band saw, a drill press, and various hand tools to open Metaltech. The company purchased Ozark Sheetmetal in 2001, absorbing its equipment and workforce, and opened Powder Paint Inc. in 2003.
The company now has more than 80 employees and 68,000 sq. ft. of space, offering custom fabrication components, weldments and assemblies, CNC machining, laser cutting, robotic welding, and powder coating.
