MVS Metals


Ten years ago, The Sioux City St. Patrick’s Day Parade was created by a group of local Irish Siouxlanders who wanted a fun way to bring the community together, and it’s been going strong ever since.

This year, MVS Metals was the primary sponsor of the parade, and chose to lead the way along the 10-block route through Historic 4th Street. There were about 3,500 people in attendance this year, the weather cooperating at a comfortable and sunny 45° with a light breeze.

Their custom-made float adorned decorations that were cut on the company’s Water Jet table and painted after hours by some very artistic employees. It was armed with a plethora of beads, candy, and custom made MVS Metals 2019 St. Patty’s Day Parade shirts.

This was the second consecutive year that MVS participated in the Sioux City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Company Employees on the float this year were: Chad Vortherms, Elroy Sybesma, Jeff Remien, Brandt Kjose, Jace Jungemann, Aaron Mousel, and Clint Sheppard.

Tuesday, February 26th hosted the 2nd Annual Chili Feed and Chili Cook-off at MVS Metals. Staff enjoyed the chili feed and voted for the best chili! Winners were:

1st Place – Mike Lindgren

2nd Place – Chad Fredricksen

3rd Place – Mike Monell

Congratulations on making amazing chili!

 

MVS held their first Cornhole Tournament on October 18th and 19th.

12 Teams participated and other than a little wind, it was perfect Fall weather.

1st games were 7 rounds with the team having the most points moving on.

2nd games were 9 rounds and the Championship Round was the best of 3 games while playing to 21 points.

 Winners received a traveling trophy and will get their names engraved for 2018 along with $100 each.

MVS SHOWING ITS GREEN

This past Saturday marked the 10th annual Sioux City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade! The weather cooperated, and the turnout was amazing, with over 6,000 people lining the 10-block route in downtown Sioux City. This was the first year for MVS Metals participation, and the results were nothing short of spectacular!

Employees at MVS donated their time and money assembling, painting, and stocking the float, with a little help from the Ward Jet Water Jet machine outlining the clover leafs and the pots of gold. Over 1,000 sets of beads were tossed out to the cheering spectators, along with hundreds of chocolate coins wrapped in gold. Smiles were abundant, and the atmosphere was electric.

MVS Metals would like to thank the Parade Organizers for doing such a great job putting everything together and look forward to celebrating with everyone again in the future! Best of luck to everyone in the 2018 year ahead!

 

Hollow Structural Sections (HSS), Tube Steel, Structural Tubing and Steel Pipe, just to name a few, are all commonly used terms in the Steel Industry. While it may have many names, and a million times as many uses, there is one thing for certain: We would be lost without it. We would not have car frames to take us to work, no metal scaffolding to aid in the construction of the buildings we work in, and certainly no airplanes to take us on vacation! Square, Round and Rectangular Steel Tubing have supported our great society for over 150 years, and with the right touch of human innovation, will continue to do so for centuries to come!

One of the major challenges of Engineering and Design starts with the question, how? How do we make this work? How do we incorporate our design into a physical product? The answer to a lot of these questions is Manufacturing Technology. This immense arena of technical wizardry and know-how help to bring these ideas into reality, and make the success of our future possible. Owen Industries has been at the forefront of the Steel Manufacturing & Technology Industry for over 130 years, and in that time, has done just that and so much more.

 

“With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” and when precisely manufacturing 3-Dimensional Hollow Structural Sections, both power and responsibility are the keys to the machine. Owen Industries owns and operates one of the largest 3D Structural Laser Systems in the Country, capable of processing angle, channel, square, round, rectangular and wide flange shapes up to 48′ – 0″ long and 50# per lineal foot on certain sizes. Limited only to the imagination, this 3D Laser System uses touch sensing technology to cut, bevel and even tap its on holes with accuracies comparable to flat laser systems. If you have a design that needs complex and accurate support, or even straight and simple shapes, please inquire with us at www.owenind.com and get your ideas off the ground today!
