Services
Metal Fabrication
We specialize in custom metal fabrication using advanced Bystronic Lasers, turret punches, and CNC brakes. Our capabilities include cutting, forming, and assembling complex components from materials like steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. With 210-ton bending capacity and 60" x 120" sheet processing, we deliver precision parts for industrial applications.
Precision Welding
Our 19 welding booths handle steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using MIG, TIG, and robotic systems like Lincoln Fab-Pak. We accommodate large weldments with overhead cranes and specialized fixtures, ensuring structural integrity for custom projects across multiple industries.
Powder Coating
Our automated powder coating line handles parts up to 8 feet long with a 5-stage washer system. We use Gema Magic Compact technology for high-volume parts and maintain a manual booth for specialty colors, ensuring durable, high-quality finishes for metal components.
Design for Manufacturing
Our engineering team optimizes product designs for cost efficiency and manufacturability. Using 3D CAD modeling and CADCAM programming, we reduce material waste and improve production workflows while maintaining structural integrity through laser measurement verification.
Lean Manufacturing
We implement lean principles including KAN-BAN inventory, JIT delivery, and operator-led quality checks. This system minimizes lead times while maintaining strict tolerances, ensuring on-time delivery of precision components through optimized manufacturing cells.
