Suncoast Industries has been a leader in steel fabrication for over 30 years. Founded by Jonathan Dean in 1983, the company began with a 5-acre field off Highland Street in Ft. Myers, Florida. In 1986 Rusty Billger was hired as shop manager and the operation moved to a small building off Metro parkway in 1987. In March of 1998 Suncoast Industries moved to their current location on Idlewild St. In 1999 Suncoast purchased an additional 100 ft of land behind the shop and later purchased the lot to the East providing a total of 8 acres of land.
