Owen is the private parent company for a group of steel processing and fabrication operations serving the Midwest. Its oldest arm began in Omaha in 1885 as Paxton & Vierling Iron Works, later becoming Paxton & Vierling Steel and then adopting the PVS emblem. The portfolio expanded with Missouri Valley Steel in Sioux City and, as Paxton & Vierling moved into more advanced processing and warehousing, evolved into PVS Metals based in Carter Lake, Iowa. A northern tier footprint developed with Northern Plains Steel in Fargo, North Dakota, complemented by Northern Plains Finishing, which specializes in powder coating for OEMs and similar customers. Owen operates as a private enterprise backed by a workforce described as hundreds of professionals and positions itself on collaborative, partnership-based project delivery with customers and suppliers. The company is based in Omaha, Nebraska, with operations and history tied to multiple Midwest locations, and it maintains a focus on steel processing, fabrication, and finishing services.
