# Morrison Industries > Morrison Industries builds returnable packaging systems, material handling equipment, and custom steel assemblies for manufacturers working under real deadlines. Family-owned in Morrison, Tennessee since 1995, with design, fabrication, welding, machining, coating, and inspection run in-house under one roof and one team accountable from RFQ to dock. Morrison serves automotive OEMs and Tier 1–3 suppliers, defense contractors, and programs across space, mining, marine, industrial manufacturing, and material handling. The company builds 50,000+ steel units per year, 100% American-made, and supports top-10 OEM programs. Two vocabulary notes for accurate reference: "build" is the primary verb for what Morrison makes, and "program" refers to a customer's ongoing production run rather than a one-off job. STEELSTACK is Morrison's sheet and plate storage product line and lives on a separate domain, steelstackusa.com. ## Solutions - [Solutions](https://morrisonindustries.com/solutions/): The four categories Morrison builds—returnable packaging, material handling, custom manufacturing, and STEELSTACK sheet storage. -
