The Marysville Steel Story

His sons Eugene and Albert worked with their Father from the beginning and worked hard to grow the business. Eugene was a co-founder of the Steel Fabricators Association Ohio (SFAO) and was on the AISC Advisory committee. In the early years, Marysville Steel built strip shopping malls and warehouses then eventually grew to building large scale projects ranging from Hospitals, MOB, Life Sciences, Sports arenas, airports, etc… and became a prime contractor for Division 5.
