Orange County Ironworks fabricates structural steel and miscellaneous iron for New York City and Tri-State jobs from a shop in Montgomery, New York. The business traces to 1973, when Paul Teutul started Paul’s Welding with a pickup and a welding machine. His son Dan Teutul restructured it as Orange County Ironworks, LLC in 2004 and launched sister erector Gabriel Steel Erectors the same year. The Montgomery campus now includes a 55,000-square-foot fabrication shop and a 43,000-square-foot heavy bay finished in 2019. At the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, WSP credits the firm with the structural steel for the new $250 million Player Performance Center beside Arthur Ashe Stadium.
One campus, two companies
The arrangement worth understanding here is that fabrication and erection sit in two separate legal entities operating together. Orange County Ironworks, LLC fabricates and delivers structural steel and miscellaneous iron. Gabriel Steel Erectors, Inc., its sister company, specialises in the erection and installation of custom structural steel and miscellaneous iron. Both have their own pages under the same site, and the company’s stated position is that the two teams work in tandem with clients on buildings across the New York metropolitan area. For a general contractor, that means fabrication and erection can be bought as one package or separately.
The service list runs to nine items and covers more of the chain than a fabricator usually does: fabrication, miscellaneous fabrication, installation, detailing, estimating, engineering, trucking, design-building, and hard-deck protection. Trucking as an in-house line matters for Manhattan work, where delivery windows and staging govern the sequence. Hard-deck protection is the overhead protection system installed below steel erection to allow work to continue beneath — a separate scope that is often procured on its own.
How the business got here
The company publishes its own lineage in detail, and the dates are specific. In 1973 Paul Teutul started Paul’s Welding with one pickup truck and a welding machine. In 1986 he expanded into a 7,000 square foot facility in Rock Tavern, New York, rebranding as Orange County Iron. In 1998, with demand for miscellaneous iron growing, the business bought an additional 10,000 square foot structural steel facility in New Windsor. The two sites sat twenty minutes apart, which the company says made efficiency and communication harder to manage. In 2004 Paul’s son Dan Teutul restructured the services, efficiency and operations and renamed the business Orange County Ironworks, LLC, founding Gabriel Steel Erectors in the same year.
Because the 1973 start, the 1986 rebrand and the 2004 restructure are three different events, no single founding year has been recorded on this listing rather than choosing between them.
