BIDDEFORD — When Jewett Construction Co., Inc. acquired Performance Welding & Building Co., LLC of Biddeford in May 2010, it became one of the few construction companies in the Northeast with its own in-house metal erecting crew.
The Jewett Metal Buildings & Steel Erectors division has grown exponentially since, erecting well over 250,000 square feet of steel in only its third year of operation, according to the company.
Much of this growth comes from JMB’s rapidly expanding business in Maine, resulting in the recent relocation of the division’s physical shop and warehouse operations to the Scarborough Industrial Park in Scarborough.
“While JMB has long conducted business in Maine,” said Tom Morton, who helps head up the division, “this move has enabled us to continue to expand, better serving both our Maine-based customers and our employees ”“ many of whom live in the state.”
JMB is a member of the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association, Steel Fabricators of New England, and the Steel Erectors Association of America; and is a registered builder of both the American Buildings Company, as well as Star Buildings Systems.
