1980s
The 1980s brought repair and fabricating mining equipment and replacement parts for draglines in the mining industry. In the early 1980’s Mr. Rebhan founded WARFAB Field and Erection, which did the installation and erection for our mining products. In 1985 he founded Ohio Steel Sheet and Plate, Inc. as the raw material source for Warren Fabricating. That steel service center developed into over 400 national accounts delivering steel to all 50 states. John and Susan’s two children, Eric and Regina Rebhan would enter the businesses in the late 1980’s learning various jobs both in the offices and the shop floors. Eric focused primarily on Ohio Steel Sheet & Plate’s inventory, production, and sales developments of the over 400 national accounts.
