Taylor & Sons Pipe and Steel, Inc has the distinction of being a four-generation industry leader within the steel building industry. Founded in 1969 by LG and Delores Taylor primarily as a steel fence building and supply business. This led to customers requesting the supply of additional building products. In 1979, LG’s son, Russell and his wife came on board which expanded the business to nationwide. In June 1998, Russell’s son Scott began working with the company which coincided with the beginning of designing and selling bolt up buildings with the assistance of metal building software. The addition of supplying metal buildings resulted in adopting the trade name “Taylor Building Systems”. The family business growth continued with the addition of Scott’s wife Sharlyn in 2003 along with the addition of their daughter Kelsey in 2018 upon completing her degree at Oklahoma Christian University followed by their son Riley  joining the business in 2021 after working on his degree from the University of Oklahoma.

Due to their ongoing tremendous success in the metal building and components market, the company sought an opportunity to grow through acquisition.  In 2017, Taylor & Sons Pipe and Steel, Inc purchased another well-established regional metal building manufacturer and component company that was founded in 1995 in Chouteau, Oklahoma. The company was known as Whitney Manufacturing now located in Pryor, Oklahoma to assist in keeping up with their increasing building products demands associated with Taylor Building Systems success story. The new acquisition was rebranded to Whitney Steel Building Systems, LLC which pays honor to the prior company history while building on Taylor Building Systems market success momentum. The two locations provide buildings and components nationwide.
