Steel Tek Framing Launches Midwest's First Mobile Cold-Formed Steel Factory
Steel Tek Framing, a leader in cold-formed steel solutions, is revolutionizing the construction industry with the launch of its mobile cold-formed steel factory—the first of its kind in the Midwest. This cutting-edge on-site manufacturing system allows developers and contractors to fabricate structural, load-bearing steel framing components directly at job sites, reducing costs, eliminating shipping delays, and streamlining project logistics.
A New Era of On-Site Steel Manufacturing
Steel Tek’s mobile factory represents a paradigm shift in construction efficiency by bringing real-time fabrication directly to the job site. This solution allows developers to:
- Eliminate supply chain delays with on-site steel production.
- Improve cost efficiency by minimizing waste, reducing shipping fees, and lowering material handling costs.
Enhance precision & quality control with structural, load-bearing CFS, engineered for full wood replacement in residential and commercial building. “With this mobile factory, we’re delivering steel framing exactly when and where it’s needed,” said Jeremy Dahmer, CEO of Steel Tek Framing. “This technology ensures precision-built structures while reducing logistical challenges for developers.”
Addressing the Construction Industry’s Biggest Challenges
With the construction industry facing unprecedented challenges—including skilled labor shortages, rising material costs, and stricter sustainability mandates—developers need smarter, more efficient building solutions.
Steel Tek’s mobile factory tackles these challenges by:
- Reducing reliance on skilled labor by prefabricating high-strength, structural steel components on-site, replacing traditional wood and simplifying the installation process.
- Helping stabilize costs with just-in-time material fabrication, reducing excess inventory and unpredictable supply chain costs.
- Supporting sustainability goals by minimizing waste, reducing transportation emissions, and qualifying for LEED certification.
“This isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about reshaping how buildings are constructed,” added Dahmer. “With the ability to manufacture steel framing on-site, developers can take control of their project schedules, costs, and environmental impact.”
A Game-Changer for Developers, Contractors & Investors
Steel Tek’s mobile factory offers transformative benefits to key industry stakeholders:
- Developers: Faster occupancy means quicker revenue generation and reduced carrying costs.
- General Contractors: Simplifies site coordination, eliminating supply chain disruptions and material delays.
- Architects & Engineers: Supports innovative designs with a complete structural framing solution – replacing wood with stronger, load-bearing cold-formed steel.
- Sustainability Managers: Aligns with green building initiatives, reducing carbon footprint and supporting LEED certification.
- Investors: Meets Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, making developments more attractive to eco-conscious investors.
First Deployment: Veterinary Clinic Project
Steel Tek’s mobile factory is already set to launch its first project in April—a veterinary clinic in Olathe, KS. By using on-site fabrication, this project is expected to cut build time by 30% and reduce material waste by over 25%, demonstrating the real-world efficiency of Steel Tek’s innovative approach.
