Shelter Works announces Bucyrus manufacturing location

BUCYRUS, OHIO – Tuesday, December 20, 2022 – Shelter Works announced today that they have opened the company’s second manufacturing location in Bucyrus totaling 45,000 square feet.  Shelter Works has invested nearly $500,000 in machinery and equipment in addition to upfitting the former Checkmate Marine building just north of Crossroads Industrial Park.

“Bucyrus offered Shelter Works a great location in proximity to several of our larger customers in the northeast region,” said Dave Masterson, General Manager. “Crawford County was previously home to two large fiberglass boat companies and has a workforce with fiberglass-specific skills.”

Headquartered in St. Louis, MO, Shelter Works has been designing and manufacturing custom fiberglass enclosures since 1995. They serve the natural gas, water and wastewater, energy, aviation, telecom, and oil and gas industries. The Bucyrus location will primarily manufacture for the water and wastewater, natural gas, and telecom industries.

“The City of Bucyrus is pleased to welcome Shelter Works to our business community” shared Bucyrus Mayor Jeff Reser. “We are always grateful to have a manufacturer select our city and our skilled workforce.”
