Established in 1871, Shamrad began in St. Joseph, Missouri as a company that built and serviced processing and heating boilers. This was the era when "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Eugene Field, and Jesse James were still riding the streets of St. Joseph and companies like Shamrad were helping to build the Midwest.  It was a time when craftsmanship, quality, and personal service were not just slogans on a signboard, but a way of life. In those days all workers, including the trusty blacksmith, took pride in their craft and every job they did was their best.

Over 100 years later, Shamrad is still at the same location with the same policy of quality craftsmanship in our every project. Today, the focus of our company is on custom metal fabrication. We provide our customers with personal service from concept to shipping, from professional engineering to repair.

Our people are professionally flexible. The Shamrad staff, including our engineers, is equally comfortable working with your engineering or drafting staff, or with your ideas or prints. We will do the entire job for you, from initial concept to completed project.  We have contemporary techniques, equipment and tooling for virtually every type of metalworking. Our extensive inventories (combined with our expertise) can meet most "rush" or emergency needs.  If special equipment, shipping apparatus or tools are needed to handle your assignment properly, we'll find them, or we'll make them ourselves. We won't shrink from a challenge - from the fifty-cent parts to multi-thousand dollar specialty projects - we'll approach them all with the same enthusiasm and confidence.  We make every effort to establish an honest and realistic delivery date. Because of our central location near Interstate 29 and other major highways, we have an edge for fast, on-time deliveries anywhere in the country. However, we will never sacrifice quality for speed.
