History

Built on Family Values

Lawrence P. Krodinger, Sr. was a member of the first graduating class of St. Pius X High School in 1963. From there, he attended Flat River Junior College and Northwest Missouri State University. He began his drafting career with Wagner Electric. He then went on to work with Quality Heating from 1967 to 1980. It was in 1980 that he ventured out to start his own union heating and air conditioning business. The humble beginning for Sheet Metal Contractors with just four employees has grown to an impressive sixty full time employees.

Larry has three children who all participate daily in the management of Sheet Metal Contractors. Kimberly Brown is the Vice President, CFO and Safety Administrator. Amy Choate is the Director of Office Systems and Design and Accounts Payable Supervisor. Lawrence P. Krodinger, Jr. is the Director of Estimating.

"Sheet Metal Contractors, and Mr. Larry Krodinger, have been ardent supporters of St. Pius X High School. As an alumnus of the school, and member of the first graduating class, Larry has taken St. Pius' mission statement of "giving extraordinary care" to heart. Larry is always supportive with his own personal resources, and is generous with his time and advice which the school finds priceless. St. Pius is proud of Larry and thankful for his involvement and support."
