In 2008, THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL wrote an article about Keeler Iron Works with the headline, "Iron in Their Blood". With over 50 years in the steel fabrication business, we'd say that's definitely what it feels like. When our father, George Keeler, began Keeler Iron Works in 1961, it was a small ornamental iron business that primarily made light handrails and stairs. His passion and commitment for Keeler Iron Works was so palatable, that it seemed only natural that we (his three sons - Clay, Will, and Rob) join him and continue to build upon his vision.
Over these 50+ years, we've increased the size of our facility to its current 80,000 square feet. In addition, we have expanded our steel fabrication work to include: indoor/outdoor signage (e.g. billboards, scoreboards, custom signs, and reinforcing components for existing outdoor signage), steel structures (e.g. buildings, pedestrian bridges, support systems, pipe trusses...), and miscellaneous structures (e.g. monumental stairs, catwalks, platforms...). We are also fabricating steel for: material handling, industry processing for other fabricators, industrial fabrication.
With over a half century in the steel fabrication business and an eye on the future, it is indeed accurate to say that there is "iron in our blood".
