Our History
DeWys Metal Solutions has been your trusted US metal fabrication company for 47+ years. Our reputation has continued to shine based on our full-service sheet metal fabrication, powder coating, welding, product development services, and much more.
DeWys Manufacturing is Founded
In 1977, Mark DeWys founded DeWys Manufacturing in a little red barn on his parents’ property in Grand Rapids. A hands-on entrepreneur, Mark first gained experience in the industry while working in a tool-and-die shop owned by his grandfather.
Through his grandfather’s mentorship, Mark was inspired to embark on a career in the industry.
The startup initially fabricated tubular fireplace inserts to efficiently heat homes, as well as a variety of small metal parts.
DeWys eventually outgrew the red barn. The business added clients and diversified product offerings at several locations. In 1986, DeWys relocated to our current manufacturing location.
DeWys Grows Into a West Michigan Supplier with Three Plant Additions
Jon DeWys, the current CEO, joined the company in 1987 to help broaden the operational skillset. With diverse leadership skills, the company experienced continuous growth that led to three facilities.
In 1999, the company lost its original founder and mentor, Mark DeWys. Jon DeWys, Mark’s brother, then stepped in to lead the company.
Innovative Leadership Establishes DeWys as North American Supplier
Through innovative leadership, DeWys catapulted from a West Michigan job-shop metal manufacturer to a full-service contract metal solutions provider serving North America.
Leadership implemented changes in four business sectors:
- Expanding market segments to include a full-service circle of companies
- Instituting additional principles of lean manufacturing
- Investing in leading-edge technology
- Devoting time and resources for workforce development
Recognizing the importance of team members, the company created DeWys University in 2012 to create the talent required to keep up with continuous business growth.
Trusted Team Members Shape Our Future
DeWys Manufacturing team members are essential to the success of the company’s full-service approach. From the front office to the shop floor.
“Our company couldn’t have grown or invested in technology if it was not for the committed and caring team members here at DeWys Manufacturing. They are the heart of our successful organization.”
— Jon DeWys, CEO
In 2017, DeWys Manufacturing acquired its first company, American Grower Resource. This addition allowed DeWys to explore the agriculture industry while also becoming an O.E.M of agriculture equipment.
In 2020, DeWys acquired its second company ReFab. This addition further expanded DeWys’ core capabilities and offerings.
The alignment of these two companies allowed DeWys to truly be a complete metal solutions company.
Forming a Complete Metal Solutions Company
In 2021, DeWys Metal Solutions was formed, creating a complete US metal fabrication company.
DeWys offers a variety of services as your true complete metal solutions company.
The various capabilities and metal fabrication services we provide better serve our current and future customers through a variety of industries.
Our history shows our passion for expanding into new offerings that satisfy every customer and their needs.
We are optimistic for the future and continued growth of DeWys Metal Solutions.

Through both financial contributions and hands-on volunteering, we take immense pride in improving lives and forging strong bonds within our local community.
