Over a Century of Service 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. At the turn of the century, Shamrad issued a brochure which (in part) assured customers that: •"materials used in the manufacture of our products are the best obtainable, and utmost care and experience are exercised to get the best results. • we employ none but expert mechanics and furnish the best of service. • we thank all those who have favored us in the past and solicit a continuance of such patronage with our assurance that same will have our very best attention." Our company was built on this philosophy and we still stand by it today. Shamrad Now 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 custom erection, to repair. This web site represents just a small sample of the projects we have produced for our customers. We invite you to browse through it, then consider how we may be of service to you.
