Innovative buildings with new materials
Founded in 1978 by Bob Adams with a passion for steel construction and a relentless drive to succeed, Adams Iron Company began in a modest 2,000 sq. ft. facility in Santa Ana, California. Today, we operate from a state-of-the-art, 55,000 sq. ft. fabrication shop on a 3.5-acre site—reflecting over four decades of steady growth and commitment to excellence.
Over the years, we’ve continually invested in infrastructure to stay ahead of industry demands. To improve efficiency and throughput, we’ve developed proprietary machinery that significantly reduces material handling time in our shop. We’ve also integrated three industry-leading Vortmann machines, which deliver exceptional precision and consistency—raising the bar for quality in every project we fabricate.
As a trusted leader in California’s structural and miscellaneous steel fabrication industry, we take pride in delivering projects that are accurate, safe, on time, and built to the highest standards. Our dedicated team—many of whom have been with us for decades—shares a unified mission: to exceed client expectations through craftsmanship, consistency, and integrity.
