Our Story

Today

We are a leading manufacturer of spun metal components and fabrication parts. Our main focus is on being a solution provider for our customers’ problems and maintaining a relentless pursuit of excellence.

As an ISO-certified manufacturer, we proudly produce cutting-edge metal engineering solutions from our headquarters in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Inside our new state-of-the-art facility, three lasers combine to deliver over 13,000 watts of metal cutting power, and our robotic-assisted CNC work cell delivers unmatched speed and precision.

In January of 2023, KRYTON Engineered Metals joined the LT Corporation Family of Companies.  LT Corp. continues to build on a three-generation legacy by expanding its corporate family – investing to grow our existing businesses and acquiring like-minded companies, like KRYTON, that support our mission and goals.  Other LT Corp. companies include Quality Steel Corporation, LP Cylinder, and Buckeye Fabricating.

2011

In 2011, we officially changed our name from Iowa Metal Spinners to KRYTON Engineered Metals in order to better represent what we do.

1997

By 1997, Kevin had fully committed himself to the industry and the customers he served by becoming the sole owner and leader of the company. In 2000, the growing company moved into a new 105,000 sq. ft. facility.

1981

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.

1974

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.
