Lebanon, Ohio, July 22, 2022 – True Step, LLC, is pleased to announce the acquisition of True Edge, Inc. This asset purchase enables continued excellence in serving our construction and industrial customers’ metal fabrication and grinding needs.

True Step, LLC was formed in 2022 by Jerry Monnin, President, and Jeff Kenny, Chief Executive Officer to execute this management buyout seamlessly for our customers.
