Ernest-Spencer Companies

10/13/2026

More than a century of hard work, craftsmanship, and a history we're proud to call our own.

These photos take us back to our beginnings as Ernest-Spencer Inc. (ESI), designing and building grain elevators and feed mills across the Midwest. In 1984, we established an in-house metal shop to support those projects. That shop became Ernest-Spencer Metals (ESM) in 1993, bringing our fabrication expertise to outside customers.

Today, ESM serves customers throughout North America. As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, we take pride in our Midwestern roots, the people who built this company, and the quality of work that carries our name.

Behind every finished project is a shop that handles it all, start to finish. One piece of our process: our Hurco VMX50, a high-performance vertical machining center that helps us hit high tolerances on the parts that go into your final project.

From fabrication to finishing, we manage it all in-house.
