Shelter Works: History of Innovation

Shelter Works was founded in 1995 with a mission to create long-lasting building solutions that protect essential field equipment from environmental hazards, vandalism, and premature degradation. Identifying a market need for non-corrosive, highly customizable enclosures, Shelter Works pioneered the use of fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) in the shelter manufacturing industry.

Early on, they developed their now-patented FiberBeam™ construction system, a high-strength composite process that blends structural ribs into wall panels, providing the same durability as concrete or steel—but without the weight, corrosion, or ongoing maintenance. This breakthrough led to rapid adoption across the municipal, utility, and industrial sectors.

Over the past two decades, Shelter Works has continued to evolve with customer needs—adding climate packages, electrical integration, security enhancements, and turnkey solutions. All shelters are manufactured in the USA under strict quality standards, supporting customers with 20+ year product lifespans and tailored design support.

Today, Shelter Works is a recognized leader in composite building systems with installations in all 50 states and beyond. Their fiberglass enclosures are known for being Built for LIFE—long-lasting, insulated, fiberglass enclosures engineered to protect your people and processes.
