Custom Fabrication from Concept to Completion
We’re not engineers, but we are expert builders and CAD designers. Our team can take your engineering blueprints or even just a sketch on paper and turn them into a fully fabricated steel component or structure.
We utilize cutting-edge equipment like the Bystronic BySmart Fiber Laser, Xact Smart 225, and the Xpert Pro 250 press brake to cut, bend, and shape metal with precision. Our robotic welder allows us to meet repeat production requirements while still offering the custom flexibility most shops can’t match.
Got an emergency or rush job? Our 3 fully equipped field trucks (with 2 additional backup units) allow us to come to your location quickly, assess your needs, and begin repairs or fabrication on-site.
