Sen. Ernst Names Olson Iron Works Of Greene County Her Small Business Of The Week

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has named Greene County’s Olson Iron Works her Small Business of the Week, recognizing its growth and support for veterans and first responders. Owner Shane Olson established the business in 2012 after his wife, Alisa, encouraged him to turn his welding and fabrication skills into a commercial venture. He bought and remodeled an old barn to launch the part-time operation. The business has since become his full-time profession and grown into a 14,000-square-foot shop. Olson learned welding from his father and shop teacher before enlisting in the Marine Corps at 17. After returning to Iowa, he joined the Iowa Air National Guard as a firefighter. The business regularly makes and donates metal flags honoring deceased veterans and fallen first responders. Ernst says, “For the past 14 years, Olson Iron Works has forged its way to success by serving its fellow Iowans and the greater community. Olson Iron Works has welded such strong relationships with its customers that 80 percent of them are repeat buyers.” Ernst, who chairs the Senate Small Business Committee, recognizes a small business from each of Iowa’s 99 counties each week.
