KRAMAN IRON WORKS INC

Industrial > Metal Products

Kraman Iron Works has been a family owned business since 1913. The company was founded by Louis Kraman as a small blacksmith shop. Louis' son, Sidney Kraman, joined the business in the 1940s, expanding the company to offer fabrication and erection services all over New York City. Sidney's nephew, James "Jimmy" Fassler, and son, Richard "Dick" Kraman, joined the company in the 1960s and 1970s. Sid, Jimmy and Dick continued to expand the company, taking on larger structural jobs in addition to the miscellaneous steel work. Today, Kraman Iron Works continues to operate in the same office in the East Village where the company started over 100 years ago. It is owned and operated by Dick's son, Max Kraman. As he grew up, Max worked at the company over summer breaks from school, learning the business from the ground up. He joined the company full time after he graduated from George Washington University in 2006; taking on various roles and helping his father expand the company. Dick partially retired and moved to Montana in 2008, while Max ran the company on the ground, helping facilitate KIW's further expansion. Max fully took over ownership and operations when Dick retired in 2018. Max prides himself in working hard to maintain the high standards, values and work ethic set by his father, grandfather and great-grandfather before him.
