Kloeckner Metals offers new capabilities as Iowa operations commence

Kloeckner Metals Corp. announced that beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the former Bauer Built Manufacturing site in Paton, Iowa, would lead all its commercial, manufacturing, and other operational activities.

The Roswell, Ga.-based subsidiary of Germany’s Klöckner & Co. said acquiring Bauer Built Manufacturing expands its heavy fabrication capabilities. It also gives Kloeckner its first in-house painting operation. Each extends the company’s ability to serve agricultural and industrial customers with heavy fabrication and higher value-added solutions.
