About Us

Vanco Steel is a family owned and operated miscellaneous and structural steel fabricator built on a handshake and grown with trust, respect, hard work, dedication and integrity.  Keeping these things in mind, from estimation a job to sending it down the road, we have built relationships, a team of people and suppliers that help set us aside from the many other fabricators. 

We are known throughout this business for our quality, ability to his schedules that most wont even try, and quick turn around.  Time and time again we are brought in when other fabricators are failing a schedule, or because the schedule changes, which it often does in the automotive business.  Whatever the reason we are brought in, we do whatever it takes to help get the schedule back on track and make sure our customer is done on time.

The relationships we have built with our suppliers and every member of our team here at Vanco is what allows us to procure, fabricate and deliver steel to your job anywhere in the country faster than most will ever expect. 

One thing you will learn if you decide to work with us, is not to cry wolf if you don’t have the room or ability to accept a delivery.  It will be there the day you ask for it!

Our Mission

Our mission is to be here when you need us the most!  When schedules change, so do our hours.

Throughout the Years

Our History

After 23+ years of experience in the field as an iron worker and superintendent in Local 25, Jim Vanecek decided it was time to put his feet on the ground for good.  In 1991 he decided to take all his years in the field and put them in the fab end of the business.

With knowing what is expected in the field and how crucial quality, schedule and delivery are he would soon have Vanco Steel a highly respected Fabricator by some of the largest erectors and structural fabricators in the country.

In the early 90s Vanco was given an opportunity to step into the automotive industry.  It began with sending a load of trench frames to the GM Linden Assembly plant in New Jersey.  Since then, that plant has shut down and Vanco Steel has used that opportunity to grow into the miscellaneous and structural steel fabricator we are today.

The Vanco Team

Our Leadership Team

Jim Vanecek

Founder
In Loving Memory

Jim Vanecek, although still a huge presence around the office and the shop has stepped away from operations.  He spent a lot of hard work and time in building Vanco Steel over the last 29 years.  He has built a company with a handshake and one you can trust.  Jim is someone that believes in honesty, integrity and trust.  He is all three of these combined and believes that if you give someone your word, you keep it!  These same values run deep as he has passed them down and instilled them into the next generation.  A few years ago, he felt comfortable enough to leave all control of operations to his son Nick Vanecek.

Nick Vanecek
