Built on History
Van Bebber Bros. has grown across generations through craftsmanship, steel fabrication, expanding capabilities, and continued service to its customers.
1901
Petaluma blacksmiths George W. and Fred E. Van Bebber established Van Bebber Bros. in 1901. The fledgling business grew steadily, performing a variety of work including blacksmithing, buggy and wagon repair, and ornamental iron fabrication.
1920s
The 1920s brought a period of rapid growth, with the company expanding into machine work and steel fabrication. Stainless steel fabrication was also introduced.
World War II
Several government contracts were awarded to the company during World War II, creating the need for new equipment for increased efficiency and to fill the growing demands of our customers.
1956
An increase in business volume led to a need for more floor space and yard space. In 1956 Van Bebber Bros. moved to its present location.
