Last month MVS held it’s annual Cornhole tournament. The supervisors grilled brats and hamburgers for the employees to show appreciation for their hard work and dedication. We also had a couple of retired employees come to visit as well. Mike Jordan and Dave Lindgren joined us for lunch. The winners of the tournament were Kurt Steig and Clint Sheppard.
Owen Industries is a proud sponsor of the Boys & Girls Clubs!
Owen Industries latest addition in quality equipment is the new Hexagon Absolute Arm. This 7-axis probe and scanner combo supports quick scans as well as Part=Cad pulled data point using solid models and comparing nominal to actual data in real time. The PCDMIS software (developed by Hexagon Metrology) fully analyzes a solid model which allows geometric tolerancing to be seamlessly imported and used as a “template” or perfect part to check against what our laser and brakes produce (data could be native to other CAD/CAM software).
This cutting-edge equipment and software allows the PPAP process to be expedited. PVS can now use a solid model of a potential part and completely dimension from beginning to end in a flat or formed view, add in any key characteristics, and simply scan or pull points with the probe. We then mesh the compiled data with the theoretical dimensions that are embedded within the solid model.
This technology is light years beyond what most fab shops are using and is one more reason why PVS Metals is the best solution for your steel fab needs!
While 2020 keeps rolling out the hits… MVS Metals has been rolling as well! Our recent addition of an Akyapak AHS 30/16 sheet and plate roller has been doing exactly that. Capable of rolling cylinders, half-cylinders, cones, ovals and squares in combinations up to 3/4″ thick and 122” long, it can do just about anything you can imagine!
We have been busy processing piece parts as well as items that go into sub-assemblies, which makes having control of the process that much more valuable to us, and much more cost effective for you!

Ron Bolyard 30 year tenured employee retired today. He operated our Messer 2016 plasma/flame machine. We made a sign and had all the employees sign it. Thank you for your service Ron and enjoy retirement!
#MIKESTRONG
Owen Industries has been a family owned company for the better part of a century, and that culture of togetherness is lived by its employees. We spend a third of our lives with the people that we work with, and it is impossible not to get to know them beyond just a coworker. One of the prominent members of the MVS Metals/Owen Industries family is Mike Jordan, who has been with the company since January 1977. Over these 42 wonderful years, he has seen many faces come and go, but those who are here now are well aware of his passion, his humor, his drive, and his joy that he shares with his work family. Sunday, September 15th, in conjunction with the ALS Association, over 80 members of his family joined him in support of his fight against ALS. The 1-Mile walk took place at 1pm at the Chris Larsen Park Shelter in Sioux City, Iowa. Together we are family. Together we can make a difference. Together we are #MIKESTRONG.
