This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. SME Steel Industries, based in West Jordan, provides high-quality structural steel solutions for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Their expertise ensures strong, precise, and reliable results for a wide range of construction needs. Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Emily Lockhart, joins us with more.
Emily Lockhart:
At SME Industries, we do a lot more than work with steel — we help shape the places where Utah comes together. We’re a family of companies built on craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep love for this state.
Over the years, we’ve taken on some of the biggest and most complex projects out there, handling everything from large-scale steel fabrication and erection to seismic bracing, ornamental metalwork, and logistics.
But for us, it’s not just about the buildings — it’s about the people. Through our partnership with Smith Entertainment Group, we’re helping foster kids in Utah find opportunities, play sports, and ultimately, find their forever homes.
We’ve also had the chance to leave our mark on some pretty special places — like the Delta Center and the Salt Lake Bees’ stadium. Utah is home. And giving back to the community that’s supported us for decades is something we take to heart.
Derek Miller:
SME Industries does more than build buildings, they shape communities through innovative projects and partnerships. They strengthen local connections and give back to the state they proudly call home. Learn more at SMESteel.com. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
