About the Industry
The stainless industry in Springfield began in 1940 when Paul Mueller started a small business with only two employees! Since then,
over 30 companies have sprung up, making this one of the top regions in the world for manufacturing stainless steel products.
The industry hit its stride when it began venturing into the food processing business. Today, companies in the area focus on processing systems and tanks for dairy, beer and wine, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical products.
Stainless steel is ideal for food and pharmaceutical products because it is resistant to corrosion, rust and staining. It also welds and grinds to a clean, exact surface, leaving behind a seam-free, sanitary piece.
Many craftsmen prefer working with stainless steel over other types of materials because of its cleanliness.
