What started as a small shop in 1959, has expanded to a thriving, third-generation company.

In 1959, Benjamin Schwartz – a skilled blacksmith – opened a small shop in St. Cloud, MN. Originally focusing on tool sharpening for a local company, Ben’s – as it came to be known – quickly received requests from local residents and business owners for ornamental iron projects. This focus on tooling and iron work would lead the company through decades of growth, when in the mid-80’s the company added structural fabrication to its services – a direct result of the growth in and around the St. Cloud area.

Now in its third generation of family leadership, Ben’s Structural Fabrication has grown to over 40 employees and provides a full spectrum of in-house services including estimating, detailing, structural fabrication, OEM plate parts, and environmental services to companies and projects throughout the United States.

Triple Check Redundancy

Here at Ben’s, we pride ourselves on exceptional workmanship, attention to detail and the reliability of our fabrication. We have incorporated a company-wide quality control procedure designed to assure the quality and reliability of our product. This focus means we are committed to attaining the complete satisfaction of our customers. As a result, we are working to the highest standards in the industry – enabling us to exceed our customers’ highest expectations.

Our approach is one of “do-it-ourselves,” and indeed, while outsourcing production is now common practice in the industry, Ben’s continues to estimate, detail, and fabricate in the same way we have throughout our 50-year history – with our own passionate staff, at our central Minnesota facility.

TRUSTED & CERTIFIED

We are the recipient of multiple quality assurance certifications, which means your project gets done right, the first time.

We are proud that Ben’s Structural Fabrication has been awarded the Certification Standard for Steel Building Structures from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).
