Our History
Our origins began with William (Bill) and Marlys Hammell in 1974 as a portable welding business. Serving as an asset to the oil field and construction industries while performing work on industrial vehicles. One of their main goals was to be able to provide for their children and their future with them.
1974
1991
Leading the way of excellence inspired Tom Hammell to join his father's side in 1991. Prior to this Tom worked hard in college to learn Engineering and Business. Thus B&T Fabrication came into existence. Through their teamwork the company grew to have its' own place to call home. Tom's valuable experience in steel fabrication and business helped grow their dream.
After all their hard work Bill and Marlys set off for retirement, which paved the way for Tom to become the new sole owner of B&T Fabrication. Over the years B&T Fabrication's roots have remained strong in Wyoming. The tradition of quality, excellence, and inspiration is apart of B&T Fabrication's journey. Including the spirit of passing on the tradition to the next generation.
Ray Judkins joined the B&T team in 1994, bringing with him the strong work ethic and commitment to quality that define the company. He began in the paint department and, through years of dedication, worked his way through every position in the shop.
Today, Ray serves as B&T’s local Detailer and Estimator, but his impact extends far beyond his title. With hands‑on experience in every role, he is frequently called upon for guidance and support, helping ensure that every project meets the highest standards. Ray’s deep knowledge and steady leadership make him an essential part of the B&T team.
Gary McAdams joined the B&T team in 1992 as a salesman during the company’s early growth years. In those formative days, he balanced a demanding workload—managing both sales responsibilities and hands‑on shop work to ensure projects were completed on time.
Over the years, Gary transitioned into remote detailing and estimating, where he continues to excel. His commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with his deep understanding of B&T’s operations, makes him an invaluable part of the team. Gary’s sales‑driven mindset and dedication to timely project delivery remain at the core of the skills B&T relies on today.
Gordon Roylance began his journey with B&T Fabrication in 2001. From the start, his exceptional attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality helped strengthen B&T’s reputation for top‑tier workmanship and rigorous quality control.
In addition to his keen eye, Gordon is an outstanding welder whose skill and precision consistently produce exceptional products. His craftsmanship, reliability, and dedication make him a vital contributor to the high standards B&T is known for.
2021
In 2021 Jon unexpectedly inherited B&T Fabrication. He continues to work with the existing customer base and build new relationships dependent on high quality products that meet demand.
Over the years B&T Fabrication's roots have remained strong in Wyoming. The tradition of quality, excellence, and inspiration is apart of B&T Fabrication's journey. Including the spirit of passing on the tradition to the next generation. As Tom had followed his father's footsteps he instilled the same passion to his son, Jon Hammell. From a young age Jon expressed the same qualities to excel.
Through constant learning, being detail oriented, and patience Jon has carved his own path. His mindset of there's only solutions and not problems is the key guiding B&T Fabrication towards success.
