Flint Steel Erectors works with general contractors and other customers throughout the south-central Kansas region and beyond, filling a growing demand for experts in steel erection with the capability to handle structural and miscellaneous steel of all sizes.

“In our many years as a leading steel fabricator, it has become more and more common for general contractors to request not only a steel fabrication quote but also a quote to erect the steel,” said Shaun Huibsch, the president of Metal Arts. “In creating Flint Steel Erectors, we are meeting the needs of our Metal Arts customers, as well as entirely new customers, more than ever before.”

Customers who have purchased steel through Metal Arts enjoy a seamless experience when utilizing Flint Steel Erectors to install the steel, benefiting from both time and cost savings.

“Our goal is to serve as a partner to our customers,” said Dale Birmingham, the general manager of both Metal Arts and Flint Steel Erectors, who has more than 30 years of ironwork experience, from pre-construction to project management. “If we are able to provide a general contractor with one quote or contract rather than two, we are helping to make their job easier.”

Even customers who do not purchase steel through Metal Arts have the benefit of working with professionals who have extensive experience in handling steel of all sizes, drawing on the long history and reputation of Metal Arts, which was originally founded in 1971.

“Part of why I wanted to take on a leadership role within Flint Steel Erectors is the commitment to high quality and customer service that has been synonymous with the Metal Arts name,” said Stacy Acker, who has more than 30 years of ironwork experience, including everything from small additions to new multi-story medical facilities, as well as experience in precast concrete and tilt wall erection.

The Flint Steel Erectors name was inspired by the Flint Hills that run through eastern Kansas and north-central Oklahoma.

“Since Metal Arts and Flint Steel Erectors are headquartered in Wichita, we wanted to honor our roots with the name,” said Huibsch. “However, we are already serving customers beyond our region with plans to continue expanding. We are excited to see what the future holds!”
