History: Conway Steel and Equipment opened its doors in October, taking over the location of a former recycling business. Manager Steve Biggers is one of two employees.
Products: Conway Steel and Equipment offers a wide range of products, catering to farmers.
“We have posts and corners in all different pipe sizes, sucker rods, anything to do with continuous fencing, and anything that has to do with metal,” Steve said.
They also sell locally constructed bale feeders and feed troughs, cattle guards and custom-made gates.
Supplies for corners and continuous fencing are the biggest sellers.
“We handle just about anything you will need, as far as metal, on the farm,” Steve said. “We have all sorts of pipe sizes; from 1-inch, up to 6-inch. We also can custom cut and weld pipe for customers. Some people might come in and buy two pieces of pipe for a corner, someone else might come in and buy 200 pieces of pipe. We can accommodate any size or however much they want, one post or 100.”
Conway Steel and Equipment doesn’t make farm calls, but they can refer customers to local fence builders who can install corners and fencing, or make repairs.
Made-to-order custom corners that are prefabricated and ready to place are also popular.
Philosophy: Customer service and satisfaction is important to Conway Steel and Equipment.
“A lot of time people will come in and we will help them get their budget together for what they might want to build; a corral, fencing or whatever they want,” Steve said. “We try to work with customers to get them what they need, but save them a little money and labor. We have a lot of repeat customers, which is what we like to see.”
