Our HistoryA lifetime commitment to making the worlds finest fiberglass shelters

Shelter Works was founded in 1995 and has grown into the industry's leading manufacturer of fiberglass equipment shelters.

Tracy Switzer, the owner of Shelter Works, got his start in fiberglass fabrication, working in the family's boat company. After college, Tracy worked for the family business, designing, engineering, and continually improving processes. Eventually, Tracy partnered with his brother Peter, who owned some fiberglass manufacturing equipment and a small production facility in St. Louis, Missouri. From meager beginnings, the brothers were the company. They sold, marketed, designed, manufactured, and, in many cases, delivered the first Shelter Works buildings. 

Through the years, the company grew, and in 2022, Shelter Works expanded its manufacturing footprint by opening a second facility in Bucyrus, Ohio. This allows for greater output capacity, shortens lead times, and reduces shipping costs for many customers in the Eastern United States.

Now, 30 years later, Shelter Works' reputation in the fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) shelter industry is built in its process. From quotation to delivery, Shelter Works is committed to providing the highest-quality solutions for critical field equipment protection, backed by unparalleled customer support, solid warranties, and proven field test results. With over 30 years of experience in fabricating fiberglass enclosures, Shetler Works continues to utilize its expertise to provide the best FRP shelters the industry has to offer.
