About Ben’s Structural Fabrication
In 1959, Benjamin Schwartz – a skilled blacksmith –
opened a small shop in St. Cloud, MN. Originally focusing on tool
sharpening for a local company, Ben’s – as it came to
be known - quickly received requests from local residents and business
owners for ornamental iron projects. This focus on tooling and iron
work would lead the company through decades of growth, when in the
mid-80’s the company added structural fabrication to it’s
services – a direct result of the growth in and around the
St. Cloud area. Today, Ben’s Structural Fabrication has grown
to over 40 employees and provides a full spectrum of in-house services
including estimating, detailing, structural fabrication, and environmental
services to companies and projects throughout the United States.
