Storm Industries

Over 90 years of innovation and integrity

Who We Are

In 1932, twenty-eight year old Walter Storm set out with a can-do, entrepreneurial spirit and a modest capital investment to establish Western Brass Works in Los Angeles. Guided by vision and determination, Storm built his company into the largest brass foundry in the western United States.

Over its 90-year history, Storm Industries, Inc. has developed a reputation for successfully developing, acquiring, owning and operating businesses. The firm maintains the highest ethical standards, providing employees with exceptional opportunities for both personal and professional growth while consistently producing outstanding returns for shareholders. The organization continues to increase revenues through organic growth and highly selective investments keyed to emerging opportunities that expand upon Storm’s core areas of expertise.

Storm is “in it for the long haul,” pursuing challenges and seeking the opportunities that will help the affiliated businesses move forward in a fast-paced world. Uncompromising quality, integrity and best business practices are built in at every level of the organization to ensure excellence – for customer, employee, product and company.

The Company works to support a team-first corporate culture while strengthening each business for independence in its day-to-day operations. Simply put, the people of Storm Industries pride themselves on a “can-do” attitude; whether they are helping their customers, working with their team, or meeting a deadline on their own, Storm people find a way to get the job done!
