Within two years from the company’s founding, that force led Frabotta and Sunde to develop and purchase their first location at 452 W. Valley Blvd., Rialto, Calif. — a 54,000-sq ft. facility focused on steel processing and attachments.

Around the same time in 1998, the next expansion involved the company’s World’s Best Wear Parts division, which provides replacement wear parts — essential for professional grinding operations. This division today constantly evolves to meet various industry needs for the recycling, wood-waste, biomass, landscaping, landfill, land clearing, composting, asphalt shingle recycling and waste processing systems.

Within eight years of opening, Steel Unlimited created its SUI Water Well division, which produces quality fabricated-steel pump housings, as well as surface plates, steel pipes, columns and barrels needed for municipalities, agricultural and construction industries

Steel Unlimited’s mining division opened in 2011. This division welds and repairs heavy equipment, rebuilds large attachments, in addition to supplying steel plate products and ground engaging tools.

With a staff at 120 and a growing customer base, Steel Unlimited was quickly outgrowing its Rialto location. To shorten lead time for its customers, Steel Unlimited expanded again in 2014 and opened a new corporate headquarters at 3200 Myers St., Riverside, Calif.

Millions of dollars were spent renovating and redesigning this facility outfitted with new machinery, new equipment, a quality control division, production division, increased engineering capabilities and a rapidly growing sales department.

Further expansion continued in 2015 with the company’s hydraulic hammers parts & service division.

Pride in Manufacturing

Mike Frabotta, Dave Sunde and Michael Johnston, general manager/CFO, have more than 75 years of combined excellence, experience and passion in this industry and strive to maintain a customer centric focus.

The company remains proud to say, “Made in America.” Also, because the company is a steel distributor (with all of its steel arriving directly from mills), Steel Unlimited can pass its savings directly to its customers.

The future for Steel Unlimited appears just as bright and potentially successful as its first 26 years in business.
