The History of Mako Steel

Started in 1993 by Mike Branon and Caesar Wright at a dining room table in North County San Diego, Mako Steel Inc. took root with a great and timely concept, and a committment to be good to our customers and good to our employees.  Mako Steel quickly became one of the most reputable and successful Steel Building Companies specializing in Self Storage Construction and remains that way today.

The original ownership group put great faith in the "Human Element" of running a business, and built a team of incredibly talented and bright individuals that would carry and build the company over the subsequent years.  In the late 90's - We were joined by James Bartnick & Robert Lesko, each bringing vast experience in construction management and each with a set of skills that would continue to strengthen our position within the Self Storage Industry. By the year 2000, Our TriFecta Management team was a well oiled machine, and the next decade would see the addition of more than 1500 Self Storage facilities in more than 40 States added to our Construction portfolio. 

In 2010 the Company was restructured, and ownership divided equally between Caesar, James, & Robert.  Through the economic uncertainty of the following years, We have continued to rise above our competitors by providing top notch customer service and quality building systems for a competitve price.  More importantly, we have maintained our committment to our employees, believing the team to be the life-blood of an organization and the reason why our customers continue to do business with us.
