We aim to build lasting working relationships that support future production needs, maintenance requirements, and new projects.
Fabrication Services and Capabilities
Our services can be provided individually or combined into a broader fabrication solution, giving you flexibility in how you source and manage your project.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We cut, punch, form, bend, roll, and weld sheet metal into custom components and assemblies. Our capabilities support a range of materials and applications, including stainless steel and food-processing components where applicable requirements are specified.Whether you need a small batch of formed parts or sheet metal components incorporated into a larger assembly, we can help coordinate the necessary processes under one roof.
Laser Cutting
Our CNC laser cutting capabilities include 2D and 5-axis cutting for custom parts, formed components, prototypes, and production runs. Laser cutting is available as a standalone service or as part of a larger fabrication project.We work from customer drawings and specifications to produce components for downstream forming, welding, and assembly. By coordinating cutting with subsequent fabrication steps, we help simplify the production process and reduce the need to manage multiple suppliers.
Welding
Our welding capabilities include MIG, TIG, stick, spot, and specialized welding processes to support a variety of industrial fabrication applications. Welding can be provided as a standalone service or integrated into complete frames, structures, and welded assemblies.We review project-specific material, weld, and quality requirements before production to help ensure the finished work aligns with the agreed specifications.
