About Us

We don’t just sell grating. We provide grate solutions.
This company, now known as NW Grating, was started in the 1960’s. It is currently in its 3rd incarnation. Even so, it’s still not the biggest game in town. It’s not meant to be. Just the best.

We help you determine the right product choice for your grate design drawings. Suggest new product applications. Provide accurate bids to keep you on budget. Deliver the product you specify, the amount you need, on time. Fabricate that grating to spec — quickly, precisely, and inexpensively.

We keep our Northwest and Alaska customers happy with the same grate solutions, top-quality materials, quick-turnaround, competitive pricing and built-in quality controls we’ve always offered. We make it our job to make your job easier.

But don’t just take the word of our grate staff...

Mike Luiten, Owner.
I financed contractors, sub-contractors, wholesale distributors for 30 years as a commercial banker. Helped businesses like yours grow. I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, what it takes to succeed. I’ve also worked with my father-in-law, a commercial construction sub-contractor. Viewed the industry from that perspective, as well. Now, as the owner of NW Grating, I’m working to ensure we continue to build and maintain solid customer relationships. I understand your needs as a business, and I make sure they’re met.
Robin Hungerford, Inside Sales
I’ve been in steel grating sales for 30 years. One thing I know…NW Grating is a team effort. We’re smaller. So we work more closely, stay more focused on the product, service, customer. You can count on us for fast quotes, on-time shipments, accurate fabrication. We’re not just here to do a job. We’re here to build a relationship.
George Lewis, Sales Estimator
I grew up with steel fabrication in my dad’s shop. Sold steel-fabricated products for years. Then joined NW Grating 8 years ago working on projects that require a takeoff or materials survey. I look at jobs to see where problems could occur. Then offer solutions for changes in materials. Value engineering… that’s how we protect our customers.
Pat Campbell, Sales Estimator
I’ve experienced NW Grating as both a customer and supplier. I had my own steel fabrication business for years and bought my grating right here, from Robin. Two years ago, I came to work here as a sales estimator. With my background and industrial design degree I help design projects, CAD drawings, estimate costs, solve problems before they occur. We’re a one-stop shop.
Beau Plummer, Inside Sales
NW Grating is a company with a family feel, and not just because my Dad is shop foreman. It’s like a Mom & Pop operation in that everyone takes an interest, gets involved, works together to benefit you, our customers. And since Mike came on board, that sense of teamwork has only increased.

Ask a few of our grateful customers!

Merv Wark, President, Yakima Steel Fab
For 15 years NW Grating has come through…with excellent pricing, loading and spec details, prompt delivery. There’s no lip service there. Just real service!
Alan Boyce, General Mechanical
I’ve bought from NW Grating for 20 years. They have lots of ideas to get your project completed without wasting time. You get more than your money’s worth.
Steve Parfomchuk, SIS Northwest
NW Grating has a team mentality…and that’s big. They’ve been user friendly on projects we’ve shared for 14 years. Even the rough ones. They’re always there for you.
Pat McMonagle, Project Manager, Totem Steel
I‘ve used Northwest Grating for 11 years for tread stairs and grating for structural jobs. They’re specialists who stand behind a hard bid.
