About Freedom Finish Works

Proudly Serving the Michiana Region

Freedom Finish Works is a subsidiary of S&H Metal Products, Located in Topeka, IN. S&H is a leading custom sheet metal fabricator with a highly skilled team and decades of engineering and design experience.

Fritz Helmuth worked in his father’s metal shop before and after classes as a boy, and his dream was to one day create his own business. S&H was started by Fritz and Harley Schlabach in 1972, making a variety of light galvanized fabrication parts for the RV and modular home industries. In 1979, Fritz bought out Schlabach’s interest in the business and moved the S&H to its current location on Redman Drive where it has been providing quality custom sheet metal products and components to a diverse group of customers and industries ever since.

By the early 2000s it became apparent that it would be beneficial to add powder coating to the business, and in 2005 Fritz created a separate company called Freedom Steel Works, later changing the name to Freedom Finish Works. Specializing in both steel and aluminum, our 40,000 square-foot custom powder coat facility has the flexibility to run everything from one-piece custom orders to full production quantities. We have the unique capabilities of powder coat, Plascoat, as well as other highly durable coatings.

We are always available to talk with you about your job, big or small. You can expect the best quality from us, every time!
