About Marquette Castings

Marquette Castings founders, the Steckling brothers, have been makers since before being a “maker” was a thing. Growing up in the Steckling house meant a lot of time in the basement workshop building all sorts of random things from rockets to robots. As they grew older, the building never stopped. The Steckling brothers have grown proficient in nearly all technical fields required to make amazing products. When they saw the opportunity to really improve upon the current cast iron skillet, Marquette Castings was born. All the founders have spent their entire life in Michigan and visited nearly every town from Alanson to Zeeland. When the trio had the vision to create innovative cookware designs using a classic material, Michigan’s Iron town was the first name to come to mind. The Lower Harbor Ore Dock is the inspiration for our shield shape. This iconic monolith is likely the most recognizable structure in Marquette. The Mountain shape within the shield does not represent Michigan’s diminutive porcupine mountains, rather the shape of iron ore stacked in piles. While we are not located in Marquette, all Marquette Castings products are designed from scratch in our Michigan headquarters.Read their story
