Tate History

In 1968, two brothers, Harold Tate, Jr. and Ronnie Tate, rented a small garage in the town where they grew up. They managed to borrow just enough from their grandmother, Ezra Payne Searcy, to buy a small welding machine to make an honest living for their families. Little did they realize from their hard work and dedication, the business would grow from that small garage to a 10-acre industrial facility contracting work in 30 of the 48 continental states, and providing a living not only for their family, but for many within the community.

At a place where our greatest company asset is our employees, products are sought not on their simplicity but their complexity. Our commitment has been key to building lasting structures across our nation. Incorporated in 1972, Tate Fabricating Company is a privately owned and operated corporation that has literally fabricated and installed projects from the east to the west coast of our nation. For over a decade, Tate Fabricating Company has been recognized by the American Institute of Steel Construction for our ability to complete complex steel structures.

Since the inception of this organization, the founders have recognized the advancements to be achieved through technology, implementing systems to ensure compliance with the intent of the project documents. The commitment continues to this day. Complexities made Simple by Tate.
