About Hansen Steel, California Metal Fabricators
Hansen Steel is a 21st century company with a family history in steel fabrication dating back to 1935. Steel processing has been a tradition for the Hansen family for 4 generations.
A Family Tradition
Hansen Steel is managed by the Hansen family: two brothers, Mike and Dave, their sister, Cathy, and their cousin, Jeff. The four practically have steel running through their veins, having worked together since the 1970’s at a steel company founded by their grandfather in 1935. Their fathers took over the company in the 1950's and the original company grew exponentially from there. After their college years, the four came to work for their fathers' company, working the shearing machines and other metal fabrication equipment in order to gain the full processing experience.
The Hansen family branched away from the company their grandfather created after deciding to move forward with their own business plan. Hansen Steel was created in March of 2001 as part of a business plan created by Mike and Jeff Hansen, the only two members on staff in the beginning. Dave and Cathy joined them soon after and the four Hansen family members began building their startup steel distributor and metal fabrication company. The four used their nearly 200 years combined experience to design and develop a business plan that would take them through the initial years. Using their steel mill connections and fabrication experience, they built Hansen Steel from the ground up.
Becoming a Hard Working Extension of Your Team
In subsequent years, the Hansen's built the company to nearly 50 employees, including the 4th generation of Hansen family members—Travis and Bart. In just 9 years, Hansen Steel built an entire steel fabrication company in a 60,000 square foot building. The Southern California, state-of-the-art facility houses 5 lasers, 3 plasma cutters, 6 press brakes, 2 plate rolls, 2 angle rolls, a pipe roller, 4 levelers, 5 shearing machines, and 3 robotic welders. Hansen Steel also houses a large aluminum, stainless and steel inventory with plates and sheets in all the standard sizes. Custom sizes are cut to size from the large coil inventory also housed within the facility. For efficient material handling purposes, Hansen Steel has a large quantity of forklifts, an industrial rail spur running through the facility, and 10 cranes in-house.
