Our philosophy is simple:

• deal with each customer with honesty and integrity  
 
History
Don Fruchey started our company in 1950.  His dream was to build one of the best companies providing specialty contractor services.  The results were so successful that our company grew well beyond his expectations.  

Financial resources were scarce in the beginning, but Don had limitless determination and energy.  He combined these qualities with the keen ability to attract the most valuable resource the company has—outstanding, highly skilled people.  While we are now one of the larger specialty contractors in the Midwest, we retain our family business culture and our ability to serve customers of any size.

In the early days, our strongest focus was on structural steel, bridge steel and pre-cast concrete erection.  Our largest project was the steel and pre-cast erection of Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio.  We gradually shifted our focus as the company grew.  Eventually, industrial equipment installation and plant maintenance services became the backbone of the company.  We proudly note that our industrial customer list includes several clients for whom we have worked steadily since the 1950s.   

After a gradual transfer of responsibilities to his sons, Don retired in 1980.  Robert and David Fruchey continue to pursue the goals established by their father.  His daughter, Donna, and grandsons, Ryan and Adam, also work for our company, which is headquartered in a renovated, historic inn that once served travelers on the Wabash-Erie Canal. Don passed away in 2007.

The future is bright for Don R. Fruchey, Inc., as continuous improvements create even better resources for our customers.  While remembering past achievements, Fruchey will stay focused on using its experience and expertise to provide excellence to its customers.
