Noah Dell, President of Champion Bridge Co. (now doing business as Champion Steel Works), joins the podcast to share about the company's 150 year legacy.
Noah returned to Wilmington after college and is the 2nd generation owner of the business after his father acquisition in 2016 through an employee stock program.
Champion moved away from bridge building in the 1930s due to the rise of concrete bridges and has since focused primarily on structural steel fabrication.
Champion continues to grow through staffing and equipment investments, and according to Noah, the company will do “40% more steel than we did last year.”
The name change is about clarity, growth, and not being overlooked by new customers who need 'steel' fabrication, not 'bridge' construction.
