EST. 1976

Knecht’s was founded in 1976 by brothers Jack and Gerald Knecht in San Luis Obispo. Today, the company is run by Jack’s son, Chris Knecht, who grew up learning the business by working alongside his father and uncle. Today, he leads the team’s efforts and serves as the Chief Operating Officer. He also oversees the design division. Following in his father and uncle’s footsteps, Chris has expanded the fabrication shop and works closely with clients to offer fully customizable projects and help solve complex design and engineering problems.

We are proud to be a family-run, local business. Our goal, since our founding, remains the same: provide superior service, offer customized solutions, and construct superior, lasting designs

Our experienced team has had a long history with our company – many have been with us for over 25 years. When you work with Knecht’s, you can be confident that you will be working with true professionals.
