Austin Mohawk has spent more than 80 years building superior quality, prefabricated metal structures. Our product line-up includes pre-manufactured buildings, shelters, press boxes and metal canopies. Our custom built structures are modular, functional and aesthetically pleasing. Our metal canopies, bus shelters, and walkway covers are designed, fabricated, and shipped for on-site erection. We are known for our breadth of design options, depth of engineering and better than competitive lead times.
The Austin and Mohawk brands represent our promise of something different and better in terms of performance, quality, value and trust.
