OUR TIMELINE
ABOUT US
We started with a dirt-floor shed and a belief that hard work, quality craftsmanship, and strong relationships would speak for themselves.
In 1985, our founder Bruce Nystrom launched the business in a small shed known as Metal Works. With limited space and simple tools, our focus was clear from the beginning: manufacture dependable metal building components and take pride in work done right. That commitment to craftsmanship and integrity laid the foundation for everything that followed.
As the post-frame building industry evolved, so did we. Over the years, Metal Works expanded its manufacturing capabilities, invested in better processes, and built a reputation for reliability and trust. Our growth was driven not only by product innovation, but by the strong relationships we built with customers who relied on us year after year.
In 2013, Metal Works officially merged and became MWI Components, Inc. This milestone allowed us to grow as a manufacturer, distributor, and wholesale supplier within the post-frame building industry, while staying rooted in the values that shaped our company. It marked an important step in strengthening our ability to support builders, contractors, and dealers on a larger scale.
Our Story.
Today, we are proud to be a post-frame industry wholesaler, manufacturing and distributing a full line of metal building components including sliding doors, ridge ventilation systems, reflective insulation, cupolas, track and hardware, roofing products, and other essential components for agricultural, residential, and commercial post-frame buildings. From our Midwest roots, we serve customers across all 50 states and parts of Canada.
Even though we’ve grown to be one of the top manufacturers and distributors in our industry, we remain family-owned with a small-business mindset. We take great pride in our work and in the relationships we’ve built with our customers over the last 40 years. Responsive service, fast lead times, and standing behind every product we ship are not just promises—they’re how we do business.
With over four decades of experience, we continue to build on the foundation Bruce established in that original dirt-floor shed. While our operations and reach have grown, our commitment to quality, trust, and long-term partnerships has never changed.
At MWI Components, we’re proud of where we started—and focused on building what comes next.
