About Lexicon

People, Quality, Safety and Innovation… they’re the values at the core of everything we do. This strong commitment was defined early by our founder, Tom Schueck, and strengthened over time by long-time employees like Gene Riley, a pillar of a three-generation Lexicon family and the company itself. That commitment continues today through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which reflects our belief that the people who build our success should share in it.

In the more than 50 years since our start, we’ve built buildings and structures around the globe. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, our family of companies now includes Custom Metals, Prospect Steel, Steel Fabricators of Monroe, Lexicon Construction Management, Lexicon Industrial Constructors, Lexicon Industrial Maintenance, Universal and Heritage Links. From mechanical installation to golf course construction and renovation, our team brings together the pieces—and the expertise—to get it done.

Safety Certifications History Leadership

Safety

Protecting the health and safety of our employees, partners and customers isn’t just a pledge we make. It’s essential to what we do. We count on, and expect, our team to uphold our corporate commitment to prevent accidents and injuries—for their own safety, and the good of our business, too.

With safety as our guide, we will continue to Build America—one beam, one bridge, one structure at a time. – Patrick Schueck, president and CEO
