aMar Noorda grew up in the sheet metal business, working in his father's sheet metal shop in Salt Lake City. His dad's company, founded in the late fifties, did ductwork, ornamental ironwork and specialty sheet metal products. When LaMar came to Las Vegas in nineteen eighty nine, he spent six years working for a company who was one of the first sheet metal contractors in the area to become a Berridge Licensee. LaMar quickly realized the potential of architectural sheet metal and founded Noorda Sheet Metal Company in 1994.During the next five years, the national economy grew rapidly and the Las Vegas area grew at a phenomenal rate. Most of Noorda Sheet Metal Company's work is in the commercial infrastructure rather than the large hotels and casinos. New schools, shopping centers, offices and other facilities have contributed to Noorda's rapid growth -- the company has completed more than 1,100 projects over the past five years.
In describing his company's business philosophy, LaMar Noorda says, "We have the expertise to give the architect what he wants....and Berridge provides us with the product and technical support to help make this happen." LaMar Noorda adds, "We've developed a long-term relationship with Berridge's administrative and sales support staff -- their personal service has been vitally important to us."

Noorda recently constructed and moved into their own office and shop facility. The new 16,000 square foot facility houses a complete sheet metal shop operation with the latest in computer-aided press brakes and shears. The building itself is a showcase for a variety of Berridge architectural metal products as well as custom sheet metal cornicework and ornamental ironwork crafted by Noorda Sheet Metal.
