Company History

The story began in 1937 when two German immigrant partners, William Schmidtke and Helmut Klein, purchased Tobin Sheet Metal. Starting as Capital Sheet Metal on State Street, they fabricated sheet metal, which naturally led to building ductwork and then full HVAC systems. The company incorporated in 1963 and became a dealer for General Electric, now Trane, equipment. They moved to their current Lacey location on Carpenter Road in 1973. Ownership has stayed in the family for three generations, with the founder's grandson Dean among the current owners.

Leadership

Dean Schmidtke grew up in the family business. His experience covers residential and commercial sales, dealer support, marketing, and accounting. This broad background helps in running a company that needs to balance technical skill with customer service.
