Company History
In 1964, four Lewis brothers made a decision to go into business together. They were all working other full-time jobs so they pooled their money and boughty a load of junk to scrap. At the start, the four brothers had limited resources and tools. Their attributes of hard work and innovative solutions is still at the core of every project Lewis Industrial Services, Inc. provides to its customers today. The Brothers worked every night after work and on the weekends to turn turn that first junk pile into sellable scrap.
Soon after receiving the junk and separating it into the scrap that they could sell they knew that they were going to need a truck to deliver the scrap and to pick up more junk. In order for them to grow and prosper they needed a truck and so the Brothers knew that they would need to take out a loan. At that time they had no choice but to borrow the money from an unregulated loan company which charged high interest rates and was known to utilize aggressive collection practices.
The Lewis Brothers’ reputation for hard work and innovative ideas was about to pay off dividends when another company decided that they did not want to work through the hot summer months and left Grain Processing Company up against a deadline and they needed to keep this job on time and on budget.
With the brothers struggling to start a new business and one of the brothers facing limited prospects at his current employer the brothers crafted an interesting contract that would assure the brother a job with Grain Processing Company if they could successfully complete the project. This contract provision turned out to be a true win win for both the Lewis Brothers and for Grain Processing.
The successful completion of this first job in 1964 has led to a mutually beneficial relationship with Grain Processing that is still strong and growing today.
As Lewis’s maintenance business grew, it became necessary to add on a machine shop in 1983. Currently, Lewis Industrial Services, Inc., provides one of a kind repair parts, product runs, and assemblies for several other manufacturing companies. In 1999 they added ASME U and UA capability and have an R-stamp for repairs. Lewis currently manufactures vacuum chambers, vessels, tanks, heat exchangers and makes repairs to all types of ASME code products covered under their current certificates.
Lewis Industrial Services, Inc., continue to grow their steel fabrication and erection business along with their mechanical piping and design build capabilities
