Slater Strength

Steve Slater's story is synonymous with two distinct yet intertwined facets of human endeavor: Hardware and Strength. Slater's Hardware, founded by Steve Slater's grandparents, had been a cornerstone of local commerce for nearly a century before its closing in February of 2024. The store, which began as a small hardware shop, grew into a hub for all sorts of hobbies—and in 2002, Steve Slater added the Strength Department to Slater’s Hardware. The hardware store, along with a natural knack for ingenuity, provided Slater with the means to build the foundational products that are sold by Slater Strength today. Within the walls of the hardware store came the conception of the first-ever Slater Atlas Stone Mold and has housed the most renowned Slater Logs for nearly three decades. When taking an even further look back into Slater's family history, you will find that his Paternal Great-Grandfather was a Logger, and the other was the owner of a cement quarry. The roots of combining honest work, ingenuity, and natural resources run deep for Slater. He has always been inspired to use natural resources to create lasting quality strength equipment that can be passed down for generations.
