Steves & Sons
Supply what ’ s needed today , stay ahead , and be ready to supply what ’ s needed tomorrow .’ This was the key philosophy with which Edward Steves founded Steves & Sons Inc ( Steves Doors ) in 1866 . The lumber business he pioneered in San Antonio helped to shape the city ’ s reputation as the heart of the lumber industry for the southwestern United States . By the 1890s , frame buildings and homes became more commonplace for the company , and by 1912 , its millwork plant had become so successful that the business was renamed Steves Sash and Door Company . Besides providing a much-needed service , Steves also envisioned the business thriving for future generations , and this vision became a reality .
Sam Bell Steves III , Vice President , represents the sixth generation of his family ’ s involvement in Steves Doors . He sits down with Manufacturing Today to discuss the growth and changes that the business has experienced since we spoke in early 2022 : “ Despite the reels of closures seen across our industry , I am proud to say that Steves Doors has grown significantly over the last 12 months . We have built a value-add facility in Ashburn , Georgia , and a door assembly plant in Brigham City , Utah , as we grow into new markets and increase our share in the existing territories . We are very blessed to be in our position and shall continue to drive the business with the sole focus on delivering the Steves Doors promise to our customers .
