Nathan Dills, president of the Oklahoma-based ACP Sheet Metal Company and managing partner of Midwest Fabricators LLC, still remembers working in the shop at seven years old for the family business. “On Saturdays, my brother and I would go to work with my dad. He would go over to work on an estimate, and we would go in the back to knock duct together,” he says. “When I turned 16, I was the delivery driver all summer long.” ACP was founded in 1977, and Dills purchased the company from his father, Harold, in 2010.  Midwest Fabricators was split off from ACP in the early 1990’s, and after his father passing in 2016, Dills took over that sister company.  Since stepping into the top leadership position at ACP, Dills has been committed to propelling the 41-year-old company forward with technology while stewarding its rich history.  

“My father had the opinion to never be scared of technology,” says Dills. “As much as any contractor can afford, technology is a differentiator and one of those areas in which we all must invest.  But you must make sure it fits within your company, and that it will be beneficial to the company in the long run.”
