Our Process

Every steel story has its foundation, and for Eastern Metal Works it was a day in 1978, when Ray Weiner Sr. bolted a Miller Big 40 welder to the bed of a Ford pickup and set out to earn a name for himself through hard work, honesty and a passion for steel. Six years later, with two welders, a saw and a Bridgeport milling machine, EMW was officially born.

As one of a select few steel companies in the state of Connecticut to have earned an AISC Standard for Steel Building Structures Certification, EMW has come a long way since that first welding truck hit the road over 40 years ago.

Our Story

Eastern Metal Works extended the horizon in customer satisfaction by adding an Ocean Avenger Beam Drill Line to our fabrication fleet. The Avenger is capable of drilling 200-400 holes per hour and can handle material up to 10” thick. Plus it’s made right here in the U.S.A.

Fabrication News

Eastern Metal Works, already an AISC certified fabricator, has now submitted an application to become an AISC certified erector. Very soon EMW will be one of only three steel companies in the state of Connecticut to boast the dual certification!

Click on the link below to read what he had to say about the challenges of locating the necessary steel for the elaborate king trusses and how teamwork translated into a superior finished product.

Eastern Metal Works, teamed up with A. P. Construction, is soon to wrap up efforts on the Chelsea Piers Connecticut project. Through hard work, attention to detail and a cooporative, team-building attitude the project is shaping up to be something we can all be proud of. Here at Eastern Metal Works we’re very excited about the future opportunities this new facility will offer our community. At the end of the day, we’re not just building buildings; this is our home.
