In 1997, Steelial was established because our founder, Larry A. Hedrick Jr., saw an opportunity. After noticing a need in the food production industry, he decided he wanted to make an impact on food production manufacturing by offering high-quality services, engineering, and manufacturing. After seeing success in this field, he decided to expand to mechanical installation, process engineering, and project engineering and management.
