Key West Metal Industries, or KWMI, began in 1981 as Bill’s Welding Service.
Three years later, the business took the Key West Metal Industries name, and over the decades that followed it expanded beyond welding and sheet metal into a wider range of industrial trades. Today, the family-owned company operates facilities in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, supporting industrial customers with fabrication, installation, maintenance, mechanical work, and field service.
The company’s leadership includes William Slabisch Sr. and William Slabisch Jr., continuing the family connection that has been part of KWMI’s development since its early years.
