Magnum Companies Rio Salado bridge
PHOENIX, Ariz. (June 27, 2025) – Magnum Companies, a leading metal fabrication company based in Phoenix, continues to gain national recognition while investing in strategic growth across its engineering, architectural, and fabrication divisions.
In May 2025, Magnum Companies received the Bronze Award in the Unusual Ornamental category at the prestigious National Ornamental & Miscellaneous Metals Association (NOMMA) Top Job Awards, honoring standout custom metalwork projects completed in 2024. The winning project, Octavia’s Garden, was created in collaboration with artist Mary Lucking for the Shoreline Station in Shoreline, Washington.
“We brought hand-wrought iron to life with sculptural tendrils reclaiming the built environment,” said Greg Brockman, owner of Magnum Companies. “This award was even more meaningful because I was honored to become NOMMA’s President for 2025 after 28 years of membership.”
In addition to its Top Job Award, Magnum Companies was ranked No. 5 among the Top 10 Public Art Fabricators worldwide by CODAworx in its CODAreview: The Power of Public Art. This recognition further solidifies Magnum’s position as a premier public art fabricator in the U.S. with expertise in large-scale, architectural metal installations.
