G.E. Mathis Company was founded in 1905
by our great-grandfather, George Mathis.
He and our great-grandmother, Helen,
actually hand dug a basement under their
home where they started their first shop.
From that, it was heating and ventilation
back in the early days in Chicago.

The company's evolved over that time
Each generation is a steward
of our great grandparent's legacy
has continued to reinvest in the company
to the best of each generation's ability.
Not only just in capital equipment...
but in people.
And primarily focusing on quality people...
understanding that that's what makes our
organization so successful.

So we start by bringing in
sheeted plate
We'll process it a number of ways.
We'll thermal cut it, meaning high-def
plasma cutting with bevel capability 
or laser cutting. 
Then we also offer forming
in various applications,
along with welding.
