Who we are.

Taylor & Sons Pipe & Steel was founded in 1969 by L.G. and Delores Taylor. L.G. began to expand his steel fencing business by building his own corrals for a feedlot operation at the current Taylor & Sons location. Other cattlemen saw what he was doing and wanted to use the same concept and expand their cattle sorting corrals, so L.G. began to set up fencing materials and install the fence projects. This growth led to the development of building gates and panels. His system, which incorporated cable and sucker-rod, became a new standard for the cattle industry in the Grady County area. It did not take long for this new style of fencing to be a part of several local cattle operations, including the Dr. Ellis Ranch, the Wells Horse Ranch, the McNeff Dairy, the Windward Stud Horse Ranch, and the McMillan Ranch. He would soon have other local farmers coming to him and asking him to supply steel fencing materials along with the pipe for their fencing needs, and from there, Taylor & Sons Pipe & Steel found the niche in he fencing market.

L.G.’s son Russell took over the business in February of 1979. In May of 1979, Russell’s wife, Nancy, came on board with the company and was involved with the sales of fencing accessories and UPS shipping of small parts. In 1981, Russell started to manufacture the pipe caps & clips with the help of Bradley Machine Shop. Gaylon Mitchusson and Don Mitchusson, the owners of Bradley Machine Shop, helped in the design of the equipment needed to manufacture the pipe caps and clips. Britt Hollingsworth was also a consultant who helped with the selection of the equipment needed for the fabrication of the pipe caps and clips. Russell and Nancy started marketing the pipe caps and clips through farm shows and agricultural magazines, which helped boost sales and sustain growth. They went as far as Tulare, California to market the pipe caps & clips to the Dairy Feedlot Industries.

In June of 1998, Russell’s son, Scott, began working with the company. The following year, with the help of their first metal building software, Scott and Russell began to design and sell Bolt-up buildings. It was during this time period that the company adopted the trade name of “Taylor Building Systems”. Scott’s wife Sharlyn, joined the family business in 2003 to help Russell and Nancy with the Company’s bookkeeping. In 2004, Taylor Building Systems completed the new office and showroom with an attached production building, which housed the first trim folding machine. The first panel roll-forming machine for the “R” and “AG” panel was added to a new structure in 2008. In 2010, the company expanded that structure and added the Franklin Welding Line, automating and speeding up the welding process. More equipment was added in 2012 with the installation of the Franklin Flange Line. This new line, with the help of the material handling gantries, would speed up the fabrication processes even more. With the addition of the Bradbury Purlin Roll-former in 2014, Taylor & Sons could fabricate in-house the majority of the parts needed for Bolt-up metal buildings. There have been several building expansions and additional equipment purchases, providing the company with backup equipment in place to promote future growth.

Scott and Sharlyn’s daughter Kelsey, joined the family business in 2018. Kelsey came with a degree in Interior Architecture. She has added the ability to assist in the exterior design plan to take in consideration of the Interior space planning. She started her position in data entry and detailing at our Pryor, OK, location. While she was there, she gained a broader perspective of our business, which allowed her to understand better the processes involved in our jobs. After returning to Chickasha, she developed our current job schedule that we use today. This schedule enables us to provide more accurate job schedules and completion dates to our customers. She also has advanced us to using cloud-based files. She has now transitioned into quality control for job processing. She ensures that you will have little to no issues installing your building. She has also taken a role in purchasing alongside her brother, Riley. Scott and Sharlyn’s son, Riley, joined the family business in 2020. Riley completed his Yellow Belt Certification in LEAN Six Sigma to help further improve our company’s processes. Riley has spent at least eight summers working in several areas of the fabrication shops prior to coming on full-time in 2020. When he returned in 2020, it provided him with a wide range of knowledge regarding how the fabrication processes work together to produce the products that make up the Bolt-up buildings. In 2020, he entered into a sales role. From there, Riley remains involved in multiple areas, including sales for buildings, coil sales, and the purchase of cold-roll and hot-roll coils. Riley has assisted Scott in helping advance our company's efforts to secure more direct buys from the mills, which will help provide better prices for our customers.

In 2017 TBS added a second location when they acquired Whitney Steel Buildings in Pryor, OK. This expansion launched a rapid growth due to the need for secondary framing, sheets and trim that were needed for both locations. Both business locations flourished due to market demand and to the commitment of the staff to grow the customer base and producing a quality products in the metal building industry. In 2021 TBS added sheet roll-forming and trim production to the Pryor location. This addition has reduced freight cost in our projects and enabled us to service the marketing area with better efficiency.

In 2023 TBS made added a marketing team to service the Texas market. This lead to our expansion of a new facility in 2025 in Grandview, Tx. The new facility will continue to allow TBS the ability to service and distribute building products to a larger region of the country. TBS will have the ability to provide purlin, sheets, trim and accessories from this location. This location will also assist in fabricating these parts with the pre-engineered buildings being delivered from Chickasha, OK.
