The Columbus Blue Jackets are excited to partner with First Merchants Bank to recognize small businesses in our community. Each month throughout the season, one company will be featured as the\u00a0Small Business of the Month<\/a>\u00a0presented by First Merchants Bank. February’s Small Business of the Month is Wolf Metals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One gets the\u00a0sense that\u00a0Mike Wolf has a lot of fun when he goes to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The operation manager at Wolf Metals<\/a> gets to match creativity with productivity, all while creating a heck of a lot of cool things. Wolf Metals specializes in custom metal fabrication \u2013 stainless steel, specifically \u2013 and can build just about anything a client needs to build.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve really enjoyed doing,\u201d said Wolf, who has worked for the family-owned company since he was a kid. \u201cI do it because I love it, but it\u2019s a lot of fun. We can do anything we want out of metal, and that\u2019s what makes it fun. Anything that needs to be made out of stainless, we can machine it, we can laser it, we can do anything we want out of metal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in 1974 by Jim and Mike Wolf, the family-owned company has grown from a small local shop to a leading metal fabrication expert serving industries across the United States. With a 25-member team of skilled craftsmen and state-of-the-art equipment, Wolf Metals tackle the most complex metal fabrication challenges, delivering solutions that exceed expectations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few years ago, that meant building decontamination chambers to sanitize N-95 masks during the COVID pandemic. It can also lead to projects that are a little less important but a lot more fun on the surface.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe build parts for machines that make Drumstick ice cream cones and ice cream sandwiches,\u201d Wolf said. \u201cWe\u2019ve built some really off-the-wall things. We do a lot of different things just all over the country, really. We do a lot of storefronts now. Things you wouldn\u2019t even think of that are in Ohio that we are involved in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team from Wolf Metals attended the\u00a0March 3\u00a0Blue Jackets game vs.\u00a0Nashville, watching the game from club level and\u00a0meeting anthem singer Leo Welsh. For longtime fans of the team, the experience is one they\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0soon forget.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had season tickets since year two here,\u201d Wolf said. \u201cWe love it.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0never really sat down here and\u00a0go\u00a0to do the different things here.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0always sat in my seats, but this is\u00a0kind\u00a0of fun, though.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0really enjoyed it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Columbus Blue Jackets are excited to partner with First Merchants Bank to recognize small businesses in our…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5108],"tags":[3644,5180,897,230,5179,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-546210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-columbus-blue-jackets","8":"tag-blue-jackets","9":"tag-bluejackets","10":"tag-columbus","11":"tag-columbus-blue-jackets","12":"tag-columbusbluejackets","13":"tag-hockey","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116365445837162155","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
