Meet Our Team
Jim Lutovsky
- Co-Owner
- 46 Years Experience
Jim began his training in basic and advanced welding and metallurgy in 1979 under the mentorship of an experienced welder with nuclear certifications. Shortly thereafter, he entered the metal fabrication industry, where his education continued to expand as he learned new techniques and processes. Jim later relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he wore many hats while helping run a plumbing company. His responsibilities included serving as a purchasing agent, field superintendent, and estimator, giving him invaluable insight into what it takes to successfully operate a small business. In the late 1980s, Jim decided to “see the world” and joined the U.S. Navy. During his time in the military, he gained significant leadership experience and was honorably discharged. He then returned to the private sector in the Chicagoland area, where he ran crews on piping projects and equipment installation and setting within the industrial and petrochemical industries. In 2007, Jim had the opportunity to start his own business with a partner which ran profitably for years. After a short break, Jim returned to the industry, working for another company performing a similar line of work. During this time, he supervised a large tank farm expansion project that earned both the Illinois and National Excellence in Construction Pyramid Awards. Following that role, Jim decided to “get back in the saddle” once again by becoming an owner of Arcline Fabrication, where he now puts his decades of experience to work.
