About

Founded in 1993 by Dwight Finney, Finn-Kool Machine and Fabrication is a family-owned and operated precision manufacturing company rooted in Beloit, Kansas. Raised on a small farm just outside of town, Dwight honed his craft through ingenuity and resourcefulness, values that continue to define Finn-Kool’s commitment to excellence.

Family Built...

Dwight's father, John C. Finney, worked as a machinist for Boeing aircraft after coming home from overseas in WWII. John passed on his knowledge of the trade to his two sons, Dwight and Mike. The brothers used this knowledge to build and repair their own farm equipment when economic hardship prevented them from purchasing the necessary equipment. The farm and the budding machine shop soon began to flourish.

Word got out about the Finney brothers' skills, and they began doing machine work and repair not only for themselves but also for hire. Before long, they were running the farm, a machine shop, and a radiator repair business. Despite facing several hardships, including a shop fire and a damaging tornado, the two brothers and their families persevered and continued to move forward.

Eventually, Dwight pursued his dream of creating a machine shop that would facilitate his passion for building the unimaginable and doing the impossible.

30 Years of Consistent Growth...

In 1993, Dwight moved his family and his share of the machine shop to its first location in Beloit. Initially, the business was introduced as a full-service repair shop covering areas such as radiator, A/C condenser/evaporator repair, large and small run machining and welding production and repair projects, on-site steel, and aluminum MIG, stick, and gas welding, and much more.

As the business outgrew its original building and property, Dwight and his wife Chris made the decision to expand to a larger facility to accommodate the additional growth.

They, along with their eight children, explored a wide variety of business interests and acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience that has made Finn-Kool the world-class full-service prefab machine and weld shop that it is today.

Finn-Kool’s steady year-over-year growth has enabled us to adopt cutting-edge steel processing technologies, elevate product quality, and streamline operations for rapid turnaround times.
