The R.E. Fraley Company, Inc. was formed as the Pete Winkler Company, by Robert E. "Bob" Fraley and Irving T. "Pete" Winkler, on January 14, 1976.  In 1979 Pete Winkler retired and sold his stock to Bob Fraley, who changed the name to the R.E. Fraley Company, Inc. We are proud to say that we have operated in the same market under the same management for the last 30 years.

From the beginning the Fraley Company specialized in heavy industrial construction, serving the auto vender market in the Detroit Metropolitan Area.  We currently supply all of the architectural and construction needs for several tier one auto venders.  Over the years we have branched out, developing shopping centers, office buildings and commercial facilities.  Although our first love, heavy industrial, continues to be the majority of our work.

In the mid 90's, we began to provide pre-engineered construction alternates to our design lineup. Since then, we have designed and constructed numerous pre-engineered buildings, totaling several hundred thousand square feet. Pre-engineered construction is becoming very popular for its ability to enclose large areas with long clear spans, at an economical price.

As we enter our second 30 years in business, our goal is to continue to service the commercial and industrial vender market in the Detroit Metropolitan Area, with quality buildings and building expansions.  We feel that our experience in our market is second to none - and our customers agree. In the past 30 years, we have never lost a customer � and we work very hard, everyday, to keep it that way.
