About Burghardt Metal Fabricating, Inc.

Origin and Ownership - Burghardt Metal Fabricating began operations as a partnership in 1958 in Akron, Ohio when two of the three founders left a competitor to go into business for themselves. In 1963 the third founding member joined what is today Burghardt Metal Fabricating. After several years of working out of a garage, in 1970, the partnership built and moved to the building currently housing its operations. In 1973, the corporation was formed. By 1982, business had grown substantially, requiring the partnership to increase the building size. The founders of Burghardt eventually sold their stock to a newly formed ESOP on July 19th, 1991. Following the transaction, the founders of the company retired.

The ESOP - In 1991, under new management, an ESOP was formed. The management established a new philosophy of employee empowerment, client appreciation, and product refinement. The addition of the ESOP to the business sparked a new pride in ownership as well as an increased dedication to quality and service. Our employees have on average over 16 years of experience. Burghardt has become the company to look for in quality, knowledge, and customer service. With sales now over 3 million dollars a year, Burghardt Metal has the ability to professionally manage and fabricate a wide range of projects. Our projects range from 1 thousand to 1 million dollars.
