Central Steel has a long and rich history
in the steel industry stretching more than
60 years. In 1950 Robert Aaby moved to
Wichita Kansas, from Wisconsin, and
founded A&A Welding. During the late
60s Robert hired his two sons, Jim
and Richard, who evolved A&A Welding
to incorporate larger scale steel work, providing fabrications for locks and dams around the nation. In 1970 Jim and Richard officially changed the companies name from A&A Welding to
Central Steel Inc, to better reflect the wider range of steel work they were involved in. During the early 80’s a third generation of family had begun to integrate into the family business, and again pioneered growth and evolution within Central Steel. Diversifying Central Steels fabrications to include work in commercial buildings, these current officers of Central Steel grew what was once a small welding operation into a company responsible for many of the Schools, Hospitals, Power Plants, and other buildings around the mid west today.
