Restaurants & kitchens

Restaurant metal — from a neighborhood shop to a destination dining room.

LoTec, Inc. has designed, fabricated, and installed structural and miscellaneous steel for over 30 years. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we deliver projects nationwide and internationally — hundreds of completed jobs across 40+ U.S. states. The company was built on industrial turbine and low-noise systems. That engineering standard is what general contractors get on commercial work.

LoTec is committed to complete customer satisfaction through the quality of our products, engineering, and service. Whether the project is a remodel or work at an existing site, the requirement does not change: efficient, cost-effective fabrication in complete compliance with the specifications, and quality that meets or exceeds what the drawings call for. Bonded and insured.

LoTec partners with contractors on the drawings, fabrication, and installation of metalwork for new restaurants and remodels. Guests may never see the package, but they experience the finished work: the trim at the counter, the stairs into the dining room, and the canopy at the door.

A large dining room and a standalone drive-thru receive the same commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. LoTec delivers the metalwork so the contractor can stay on track and the restaurant can be ready for opening night.
