Our Mission

SteelCell pushes boundaries with the most custom prefabricated units on the market, all made in a state-of-the art manufacturing facility.

Our groundbreaking techniques increase design flexibility, shorten time to market, and standardize construction to reduce cost.

This takes prefabrication to the highest level.  

PreFabrication

Our History

Prefabrication is not a new concept. Many detention facilities have use prefabricated steel units for more than one hundred years. However, efficient production of prefabricated steel units on a large scale began with SteelCell.

Mike Smith and Ray Handte, our current President and Vice President, played an integral role in the incorporation of SteelCell in 2001. SteelCell’s resources center on the creation of modular, prefabricated units. We also focus on how to integrate our units into modern detention facilities. This saves construction costs and creates a safer and more focused work environment. We have seen great success as a company. In 2009, SteelCell moved into a new manufacturing plant designed to produce our units. This facility is state-of-the-art. It allows us to meet our clients’ needs with higher efficiency. SteelCell has seen continued growth since we built this plant and expanded our product offering. Roughly 22,000 of our prefabricated units serve more than 180 projects.

SteelCell is on the cutting edge of technology. We are always looking for new projects and new industries to explore. Our creative staff works together to design unique solutions. SteelCell is dedicated to achieving its mission. Our innovative technologies are changing the way projects are built globally.
