History

History

Clem’s Ornamental Iron Works is New Jersey’s largest manufacturer of ornamental aluminum and iron architectural products. From modest beginnings in New Jersey in 1956, Clem’s now services all of its clients through a large manufacturing headquarters facility and a separate walk-in retail design center, -- clients ranging from large-scale multi-story commercial real estate developers all the way through single-family residential accounts. For over fifty years, successive generations of the family have taken old-world pride and craftsmanship and melded those sacred principles with modern techniques and state-of-the-art machinery to create outstanding architectural products of unrivaled form and beauty.

There is no limit to the types of architectural metalwork that Clem’s can create. From delicate, elaborately detailed fabrications to sturdy, ultra-functional designs, Clem’s creates real-world products tailored to an architect's or designer’s unique vision. Through an eclectic mixture of rails, pickets, posts, and ornamental enhancements, fabrications that project a distinctive identity matching any individual’s personal taste and budget are routinely provided by Clem’s staff of professional craftsmen. And all rail systems are designed, engineered, and constructed to meet or exceed federal safety requirements and are ADA-compliant.

Headquarters

Headquarters

After years of successful growth and expansion, Clem’s fabrication operation currently operates out of a 50,000-square-foot manufacturing headquarters in Piscataway, New Jersey. All phases of Clem’s factory operations (engineering, fabrication, welding, powder-coating finishing, quality control, installation, billing, and administration) efficiently function under one roof, providing each client with a seamless path from project authorization through to final project completion.

Fabrications are created by one of the best-trained and experienced staffs in the trade -- skilled artists who actually pride themselves on the unrivaled quality of their craftsmanship. The Piscataway headquarters also serves as a home base for a fleet of Clem’s delivery trucks and installation crews, which are dispatched daily to all points in the tri-state area.
