Quality Steel Corporation
Quality Steel Corporation is North America’s largest manufacturer of Propane Storage Tanks, Anhydrous Ammonia Nurse Tanks and other ASME certified Pressure Vessels for domestic and farm use. Founded by Lowry Tims in 1957 as a family owned business, the company has continued to grow both organically and through the 2013 acquisition of its major competitor, American Welding & Tank. Ownership of the company remains with both the family and now more than 40% with the employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. It continues to thrive and grow under the management of the founder’s son, CEO Jim Tims, and a strong, diverse management team. The company is proud to be a U.S. manufacturer with facilities in Cleveland, Mississippi, Fremont, Ohio, and West Jordan, Utah. Quality Steel’s success comes from the pursuit of unsurpassed quality. “Being a family-owned company, and not a division of some large conglomerate like many of our competitors, we’re able to make changes quickly and react rapidly if consumers’ needs change,” Tims said. “We have a partnership between employees and management and emphasize the importance of doing things right and maintaining the highest levels of quality.”
