Originally founded by Hymie Goldman in the late 1920's, Utah Metal Works had more to do with the manufacturing of electrotype and linotype printing plates then with scrap metal. After Goldman passed away in 1955, UMW was purchased by Harry Lewon and his two brothers, Rubin and Louis. The Lewon brothers folded the printing plate business, and redirected all of the company's resources to the scrap end of the business. Shortly after the business changed hands, UMW moved to its current location on Everett Avenue. After graduation in 1958, and spending a couple years in other jobs throughout the West Coast and the Mountain Region, Don Lewon, current President of UMW, found himself working beside his father, Harry. The father-son combo continued when Don's son Mark came to work for UMW in 1988 in a vice President capacity. Don's younger son would do the same when he accepted a position with the company in 1992.
