History & Heart

Redinger Steel Erectors, Inc. is a family-owned, family-operated, and family-focused business based in the heart of Michigan. Some of our team is truly family while others are just as close! Our entire team has a passion and dedication for ironwork that has been passed down through generations. We believe in real, honest hard work and we pride ourselves in leaving a legacy of quality and excellence.
