History

Sanilac Steel, Inc. was formed in 1967 by James O’Morrow Sr., Alan Loding, Keith Jensen, and Paul Jensen. Our newly formed Michigan steel company bought out Weaver Steel and has remained at its original location of 2487 S Van Dyke Rd, Marlette, MI 48453. In the early days, they performed a wide variety of steel construction work including steel joists, steel beams, and columns. They had even built many small bridges in the area. Today, Sanilac Steel fabricates structural steel for commercial, industrial, and municipal building projects all over the state of Michigan. They also erect their own fabricated structural steel on-site with a full crew of iron-workers and equipment including cranes, portable welding machines, and rough terrain material handling equipment.

Currently, James O’Morrow Sr. is the majority owner of Sanilac Steel and has been for the past several years. James bought the other owners out during the 1990s. James’ son, James Jr., is a minority owner and is currently running the day-to-day activities of the company. All of Sanilac Steel’s employees are dedicated and experienced, with most of them being with the company for many years.

They have worked on projects from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to the southern border. Buildings such as Alpena Hospital’s Oncology Center, Port Huron Schools Performing Arts Center, Sault Ste Marie Tribe Casino and Hotel at St. Ignace, Tower Automotive Press Line in Elkton, Mt Pleasant Fire and Police Center, and many, many more. Our steel company also offers crane rentals, steel staircase manufacturing, retail steel sales, steel design and engineering, miscellaneous portable welding, even delivery and setup of support beams for houses.
