Steel fabrication and manufacturing have been a central trade in the Hargrave Family since 1979. From a young age, my dad and grandad introduced me to welding and manufacturing through their businesses. Although I have had a career outside of the manufacturing trade since I graduated from Texas Tech in 2007, I always knew deep down that I wanted to return to fabrication and manufacturing at some point. Seeing the need for a large-scale fabrication, manufacturing, machining, and repair shop in West Texas, we knew the timing was right to open Hargrave Manufacturing in Slaton, Texas. Our work will be guided by the principles that have made this family trade successful for the last four decades: quality work and customer service.
