I worked for L&W as a 2nd shift maintenance person for almost 4 years. They welcomed me into the company with no experience and helped me build a portfolio for a career, which has helped me build my life to where it is today. The products that came out of our buildings were always quality, and the workers were a great bunch of people. I’d recommend L&W to anybody looking for a job, and anyone looking for a manufacturer to handle their fabrication jobs!
