About Us
Improving quality. Ensuring timely delivery. Reducing manufacturing costs.
At LB Steel , we understand that these are the drivers of your business. As a result our company is committed to the pursuit of excellence — zero delivery delays, zero production headaches, and zero tolerance for errors. LB Steel wants to be your strategic outsourcing partner. We will work with you to address these competitive pressures.
LB Steel is your source for outsourced machining, fabricating, burning and assembly. Our machining facilities can accommodate large scale projects with complex intricacies, while our in-house fabricating and burning processes ensure top-quality, cost-effective implementation of customer requirements.
Based in Harvey, Illinois, LB Steel’s 450,000 square-foot manufacturing facilities include a machine shop with more than 40 state-of-the-art CNC machining centers and value-added assembly areas, a separate fabrication facility, and a dedicated burn shop.
As an outsourcing partner, LB Steel can offer a variety of services that will reduce costs and improve quality. Once viewed primarily as a cost-cutting tool, outsourcing is now a vital component to the operating business model. Customers who outsource large, complex assemblies and higher-volume production rely on LB Steel as a trusted partner.
Here are just a few of the reasons why it makes sense to outsource with LB Steel:
- Provide improved quality and delivery in the face of increasing global competition
- Reduce operating costs
- Reduce capital investment
- Obtain processes that are not available internally
- Redirect resources from non-core activities to those that better serve your customer
- To share risk; companies that outsource become more flexible, dynamic and adaptable
Quality
LB Steel’s philosophy centers on one thing – quality. Quality for LB Steel is defined by our pursuit of Zero. Zero delivery delays, zero production headaches, and zero tolerance for errors. Every one of our employees is committed to the pursuit of Zero, and it drives all of our processes. This focal point on quality management enables LB Steel to complete even the most complex outsourcing projects on-time and on-budget. This, in turn, gives our customers the freedom to focus valuable resources on growth within their own businesses.
LB Steel is fanatical about quality. Quality is in every step of every process. We will not ship a product to a customer that hasn’t met our internal quality standards. Our dedication to quality is showcased through our proprietary quality audit system, which holds every product that passes through our doors to a stringent level of review.
Innovation
LB Steel is dedicated to innovation in our process technologies, employee skills, and equipment. We do this to give our customers a competitive edge, as well as to deliver a product to our customer that meets or exceeds expectations. Our engineers and technical staff, supported by management, strive to be at the forefront of new technologies in our industries, and implement these as soon as they are quality-proven.
LB Steel also has a number of apprenticeship and training programs for employees to gain new skills in their trade. Our commitment to innovation in equipment is demonstrated by our frequent acquisition of new machinery that helps address the needs of our customers.
Strategic Partnerships
LB Steel wants to be a strategic partner for you, rather than just a vendor. We work with our clients to solve problems on-time and on-budget. We introduce value-added services or ideas to take your headaches away.
Proactive Approach
LB Steel takes total responsibility for performance and quality. We ensure that all processes and workflow are aligned to specific customer requirements. With each customer requirement, there exists a sense of urgency throughout the entire LB Steel organization to anticipate, rather than react.
