Florida Aluminum and Steel has been providing metal fabrication services to Southwest Florida for over 50 years. Originally founded in Ft. Myers along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, Florida Aluminum has invested in the growth and development of the region since inception of the operations in 1948.
Relocating to its current site in 1985, Florida Aluminum greatly expanded operations and began taking on larger scale steel and aluminum projects. By 1995, the company had added steel trusses to its production line and was the only contractor in the area to fabricate and erect structural steel, craft ornamental metalwork, and supply light gauge steel trusses, all from the same site.
To further expand the facility's structural steel fabrication capabilities, a new 20,000 square foot shop was added to the site in 2002. Integrating 35 tons of overhead crane capacity, this new shop set the stage for the Company's future growth in its fabrication capabilities.
In 2005, Florida Aluminum announced the acquisition of a state-of-the-art FICEP Automated Beam Line. The single-operator machine, produced by the Italian-based FICEP Group, automated the process of drilling and cutting structural steel girders while ensuring accuracy and speed in the process.
Since the beginning, the mission of Florida Aluminum and Steel has remained the same: utilize the best craftsmen and the latest technology to serve the fabrication needs of Florida's general contractors and developers.
