Our mission is to provide high-quality fabrication and equipment services that help Midwestern businesses stay productive, safe, and efficient. We are committed to craftsmanship, honesty, and supporting the communities that rely on us.
Our story
Prairie Werx was founded by a group of Iowans who saw local farms and contractors struggling to find reliable fabrication and machinery service partners. After years of working in welding, field repair, and equipment maintenance, they decided to build a company that combined technical skill with small-town dependability. Prairie Werx was created to keep the region's essential industries working without interruption.
