Founded in 1957, Colmet has built a longstanding reputation as a trusted American manufacturer of premium steel products designed for landscaping, construction, and outdoor environments. Originally established by James Collier Sr. as Oak Cliff Fan Co., the business began by producing residential attic fans before pioneering the manufacture of steel landscape edging the following year. Over the decades, Colmet expanded its expertise into sheet metal fabrication, nursery and garden products, retail signage, and a wide range of custom steel solutions.
Today, Colmet is recognized for combining quality craftsmanship with dependable customer service. The company serves both homeowners and industry professionals by manufacturing durable products, including prime steel lawn edging, custom planters, sign holders, and specialty fabricated steel items tailored to unique project requirements. Every product is designed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions while delivering lasting performance and visual appeal.
Innovation has remained central to Colmet's success throughout its history. The company has introduced patented products such as Attached-Stake Edging, the FloraForm® steel planter, and QuickLock® Steel Edging, while continually improving its manufacturing capabilities through advanced coating and finishing technologies.
Headquartered in Texas, Colmet continues to invest in new facilities, product development, and operational growth, carrying forward a legacy of durability, reliability, and precision craftsmanship that has defined the company for more than six decades.
