About Owen Steel Company - Fabrication - DE

Owen Steel Company was founded in 1936 in Columbia, South Carolina, and has since grown from a regional fabricator into a major structural steel contractor with fabrication plants in Columbia, SC, and Wilmington, DE. The company is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The company provides end-to-end structural steel services, including sales and contracting, project management, engineering and detailing, fabrication, quality assurance, and procurement. Its Columbia facility spans over 440,000 square feet under cranes on a 27-acre site, with single-piece lifting capacity exceeding 70 tons. A second plant in Wilmington, DE, serves the Mid-Atlantic and New York markets. All phases—estimating, engineering, procurement, fabrication, and delivery—are managed in-house by a dedicated project delivery team. Recent projects include the NYU Langone Medical Center Energy Building, Bronx Criminal Courthouse, John Jay College, Temple University, USC Darla Moore School of Business, VA Hospital in Detroit, World Trade Center Memorial & Museum, Washington D.C. Convention Center, and the West Virginia Meadow River Bridge. The firm emphasizes its integrated approach—fewer handoffs, early problem-solving, and single-point accountability—as a key differentiator. It holds AISC certifications for Standard Steel Building Structures and Major Steel Bridges with Fracture Critical and Sophisticated Paint Endorsements, and maintains a quality program designed to ensure steel arrives at the project site correct and on schedule.
