About Mertz Integration LLC
Mertz Integration LLC, founded in 1927 in Ponca City, OK, designs and builds a wide range of custom steel fabricated products.

Mertz’ ability to take a customer idea from inception through design, prototyping, and final production with the highest commitment to quality and safety have earned our customers’ trust.

We also have a design team and other support functions that provide essential services such as purchasing, quality control, inventory and IT.
