For more than 50 years, FabEnCo has produced a wide array of fabricated metal products for various industries. We do this in an employee-oriented culture. In 1945, Donald V. Henderson (1921-2001) founded Central Iron Works, Inc. In 1960, he befriended Hardy L. LaCook, Jr. P.E. (1928-2000) and participated with him in founding FabEnCo, Inc. in August 1965. These two companies merged in 1977 to facilitate the retirement of Mr. Henderson.

From ornamental iron products for home construction in the 40’s and 50’s, guardrail and highway posts for freeway projects, as well as flood control structures for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 60’s and 70’s, through custom ASME vessels for the refining and petrochemical industry during the 70’s and 80’s, to the manufacture of oil and gas process equipment in the 80’s and 90’s, and now, for more than 45 years, FabEnCo Self-Closing Safety Gates, our mission has been the same.

We design, develop, manufacture and successfully market quality fabricated metal products to value-oriented customers. We pursue this objective in a pleasant work environment that emphasizes employee safety and personal growth, conservation of our ecosystem, and adherence not only to existing codes and legal statutes but also to a higher personal standard of right and wrong.

All employees at FabEnCo strive to be LEADERS. We are Loyal to all stakeholders in our business and demonstrate a high standard of Ethics…the Golden Rule. A positive Attitude, characterized as “are we having fun, yet?” ensures that we will be Dedicated to doing the best job possible, while being Empathetic in resolving any issues. We Recognize those who truly exemplify these core values, while maintaining the highest levels of Safety in our organization.
