About Us

Our Story

KRYTON Metals has been a leader in metal spinning and fabrication since its founding in 1981. Originally named Iowa Metal Spinners, we rebranded to KRYTON Engineered Metals in 2011 to better reflect our expanded capabilities. Over the decades, we've built a reputation for excellence and innovation, dedicated to solving our customers' challenges.

Today, as part of the LT Corporation Family of Companies, KRYTON continues to excel in metal engineering. From our state-of-the-art facility in Cedar Falls, Iowa, we use cutting-edge technology, including high-powered lasers and robotic-assisted CNC work cells, to deliver superior quality and precision. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification highlights our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in everything we do.

Beginning

In 1974, our founder, Kevin Harberts, experienced a turning point in his life when he was fired from his high school job. It was that moment, all those years ago, that set our innovative leader on his new journey and lifelong endeavor in manufacturing. Looking back, Kevin says losing that job was one of the best things that ever happened to him. 

1981

Iowa Metal Spinners, Inc.

In 1981, at age 25, Kevin was part of a three-person group that founded Iowa Metal Spinners, Inc. Working hard to operate and build the business by day, and raising two young daughters with his wife by night, Kevin’s steadfast mentality of “don’t ever quit” led the company towards being the innovative manufacturing solutions provider it is today.
