DeGeest Steel Works recently announced a name change – the second in company history – to simply DeGeest, a simplification that better reflect the company’s constant commitment to expanding its range of solutions and services for its customers. This is more than a name change. DeGeest’s offerings are expanding from exceptional steel fabrication to include Finishing and Automation.

On this episode of Manufacturing a Stronger Standard, several members of the DeGeest family got together with host Tyler Kern to reminisce about the company’s origins as DeGeest Manufacturing in 1976, the growth it’s experienced since, and the bright future ahead.

Tune in to hear President Derek DeGeest outline exactly what spurred this latest name change, Glenyce DeGeest harken back to the company’s earliest days, Scott DeGeest talk about his own experience in the family business, Matt DeGeest reflect on what being a part of the family business means to him, and Alicia DeGeest run down the company’s ever-present core values, and more.

The company’s capabilities in the steel industry aren’t going anywhere – they’re just being joined by a wide array of other exciting opportunities to better serve its valued customers, such as robotic painting, engineering, software, robotic service & maintenance, as well as selling finishing products like LestaUSA painting and finishing robots. With ‘A Stronger Standard’ at the root of it all, DeGeest services and products continue to stand for dependability, integrity, and pride.

Looking for a company with a commitment to long-term innovation and service? The answer’s simpler than ever – DeGeest.

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Through a collaboration with Bell Equipment, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas plans to add three articulated dump trucks: the ZD30, ZD45 and ZD50. The launch is scheduled for early summer 2027, and Hitachi dealers in the United States and Canada will support the trucks. Ranging from 30 to 50 tons, the models put Hitachi in the equipment classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market. The lineup gives contractors a single dealer network for excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks.

  • 01Hitachi's ZD30, ZD45, ZD50 articulated trucks launch early summer 2027 and address size classes representing about 90% of North American ADT demand
  • 02Bell Equipment, with over 26 years in the North American ADT market, manufactures the trucks while Hitachi dealers distribute and support them across the U.S. and Canada
  • 03The partnership lets Hitachi dealers quote excavators, wheel loaders, and ADTs from one network, expanding their offering.

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Trussi, built inside Shamrock Roofing and Construction, imports Hover 3D measurements into job records and estimate fields. Hover reports bill to the contractor’s own Hover account at existing pricing, with no markup. One phone capture can also support exterior quotes in multi-trade workflows.

  • 01Hover reports bill to the contractor's own Hover account at existing prices, with no reseller markup.
  • 02One smartphone capture can feed both a roof estimate and a siding, window, door and trim takeoff, which matters most for contractors who sell more than one exterior trade.

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore has announced closed-beta digital twin capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, that link 3D models to procurement and schedule data and to DroneDeploy site captures. How much they pay off likely depends on how current each contractor's schedule and procurement records are, especially on data center megaprojects.

  • 01Procore’s NVIDIA twin links model to schedule and procurement data, showing how a late delivery can ripple into downstream work.
  • 02A delay simulation is only as good as the delivery dates behind it: projects that track procurement outside Procore would get the 3D model with less of the ripple analysis.
  • 03Investing.com says Commissioning and an IBM Maximo integration are in beta; they could extend the twin past handover as closed beta expands.
