ABOUT US
Crown Steel Mfg was founded in 1969 in Houston, Texas by three English immigrants as a custom restaurant fabricator and manufacturer of mobile lunch truck bodies. Within a year they took in another English immigrant as a partner and began to focus primarily on restaurant equipment. From these humble beginnings the partners slowly developed a reputation for quality and old world craftmanship. In 1973, the partners relocated Crown Steel to a 10,000 sq/ft building, built on a handshake by a local contractor, in Escondido, Ca. and their reputation continued to grow. During the 1990's, we experienced rapid growth; and due to space constraints, we again relocated in 2000 to our current San Marcos, Ca. facility. Although all the original partners have retired, the company has remained in family hands. From the early years in our original 2,000 sq/ft facility to the present at our current 20,000 sq/ft facility we have striven for excellence in our products and service in addition to maintaining our belief in the old world craftmanship..
We fabricate all our products at our facility and offer installation within Southern California. Alternatively, you can will call your order at our facility or request shipping to your location.
In addition, 2004 marked the patenting of a refrigerated cold pan by David Carr of Crown Steel in conjunction with Dennis Baer. This unit is available under the trade name of C&S Solutions.
