Our History

1875 - Founded

Alamo Iron Works was founded in San Antonio, Texas, during a period of industrial growth and westward expansion. Starting as a modest blacksmith shop and foundry, the company began serving the growing needs of local farmers, ranchers, and early manufacturers with metal works and basic tools.

Early 1900s - Expansion

As San Antonio and the surrounding areas developed, Alamo Iron Works expanded its operations to include structural steel, industrial equipment, and a wider range of metal products. The company played a vital role in supplying materials for the construction of many historical buildings and infrastructure projects that still stand in San Antonio today.

Present Day

From major construction projects to manufacturing facilities and infrastructure development, our extensive inventory and dedicated service have helped shape the Texas industrial landscape. We proudly supply businesses across Bexar, Cameron, Hidalgo, and surrounding counties, ensuring they have the materials and tools they need to keep operations running efficiently.
