Michael Ray Emerick

Founder of Lima Sheet Metal

In 1974, Michael Ray Emerick had a vision: to build a metal fabrication company that would serve the people of Lima, Ohio with integrity, quality craftsmanship, and genuine care for every customer. With hard work, determination, and a commitment to excellence, he laid the foundation for what would become one of Ohio's most respected fabrication shops.

His dedication to quality and his hands-on approach established the company culture that still drives Lima Sheet Metal today. Even after his passing, Michael's legacy lives on through the family values and work ethic that guide every project we undertake.

A Lasting Legacy

Michael's dedication to quality and his hands-on approach established the company culture that still guides Lima Sheet Metal today. His commitment to integrity, craftsmanship, and serving the community continues through the generations of his family who carry on his work.
