In 2020, after years in mining, Steve noticed declining customer service matched with rising prices. He saw this gap and founded ELM to address these issues. ELM Engineering focuses on continued growth, customer service, fair pricing, and innovation through honest competition. Our core values—honesty, integrity, and fairness—drive our strong industry reputation and commitment to excellent service.
