History and Culture
A Tradition of Quality and Service

Shickel Corporation, established as Shickel Machine Shop in 1938, has always made quality and customer service top priorities. This philosophy continues to drive our business. Our customers set the standards and our metal fabricators deliver.

John A. Shickel, who opened our doors over 70 years ago, declared on his business card that "We will give you the best service we can, as promptly as possible, at a price fair to both of us." This philosophy continues to drive our business.

In 1956, John's son and daughter-in-law, Carlton and Helen Shickel, purchased the business. Employment reached five. Upon Carlton 's death in 1994, Helen assumed the role of President with sons Gary and Mark as Vice-Presidents. Read the Owner's Letter
