Founded in 2002 by Steve Van Domelen, Vanport built its legacy on a foundation of experience and focused vision. His experience and unique viewpoints helped him forge a new path within the industry. He recruited like-minded individuals who, like him, had a focus on customer services, craftsmanship and care for their fellow team members. Renowned for his resourcefulness and integrity, Steve led by example in shaping the culture that Vanport stands for. Steve Van Domelen retired from Vanport in 2021, at which time there was changing of the guard to his youngest son Daniel Van Domelen. Daniel started working for Vanport as a welder’s apprentice in 2011, moving up through the ranks in that ten year span. Daniel’s objective is to build upon the legacy of the company, and providing a culture that team members are proud to be a part of.
