Honoring September 11, 2001: A Memorial That Will Last for Generations

Acutech Metalworks is honored to have played a part in preparing pieces of steel from the World Trade Center for the permanent 9/11 memorial at the Whitefish Fire Department in Whitefish, Montana.

September 11, 2001, is a day that forever changed our nation. As we remember the lives lost, the bravery of first responders, and the strength of communities that came together, we are reminded of the importance of preserving that history for future generations.

In 2026, Acutech Metalworks had the privilege of contributing to a meaningful local project: preparing pieces of steel recovered from the World Trade Center for their place in a permanent memorial in Whitefish.

For our team, this was more than a metalworking project. These pieces of steel represent a significant part of American history, carrying the memory of those who lost their lives and honoring the courage of those who responded.

We approached this work with the respect, care, and craftsmanship it deserved, knowing the memorial would become a lasting place of remembrance for our community.

We are grateful to the Whitefish Fire Department and everyone involved in bringing this memorial to life. It was an honor to contribute our skills to a project that preserves history, recognizes sacrifice, and brings our community together.

At Acutech Metalworks, we take pride in the work we do, but some projects carry a meaning far beyond the metal itself. This is one of them.

We will never forget.
