1st Generation:

The company was founded by Herman Reeves in 1962, Mr. Reeves moved to the Carolinas from Alabama by the direction of his brother for better opportunities. He was employed by Jenkins Metal Corporation in the early days. He would work in his garage after hours to complete projects for people in the textile mills. With lots of encouragement from his peers, he started his own company and the business is still a thriving company in Gaston County. Due to Health reasons Mr. Reeves asked Mike Clagg to step into the business in the early seventies.

2nd Generation:

Mike Clagg, a graduate of Appalachian State University , has been the president of the company for nearly forty years and has done a tremedous job in developing a great reputation in the textile industry throughout the Southeast. The Company expanded its facility in the early 1990's time frame to 15,000 square feet from the original shop which had been out grown.

3rd Generation:

Josh Clagg, son of Mike and Betty Clagg graduated from Elon University in 1998, and stepped into the business. Josh worked on the construction side and installing material handling and filtration ductwork systems for nearly two years before being moved into management of the company.

IN 1999, a 15,000 square foot facility adjoining Herman Reeves Sheet Metal became available and the purchase was made to expand business again. A Bystronic laser was purchased in 2001 to diversify the business and in 2009 a new laser machine was purchased to replace the previous machine. In the last several years reinvestment has been done in new machinery. The company services many sectors in metal fabrication above and beyond the textile industry which has brought stability to Herman Reeves.

We look forward to the years to come in order to expand our business to meet the demand of our existing customer base.
