Shop Owners and Managers

If you find yourself taking on a project with complex fabrication work, fast turnaround times, or uncommon dimensions, you may have concerns about over-working your shop and staff. A subcontractor can help to simplify complex jobs, supplement your manufacturing output, and fill in experience or technology gaps.

Engineers

If you have a new idea for a product or a design that you want to bring to life, or a specific problem you want to solve, skilled fabrication work can help you do it. We can help you complete short runs of your prototype, make improvements on your designs to improve the manufacturing process, and assist with a full-scale development and manufacturing of specialty products and equipment.

Project Managers

One part and even one process can create a long and expensive bottle-neck in a construction or manufacturing project. Whether you need one specific and precise piece to complete your project, or you need hundreds of uniform parts, the right custom fabrication subcontractor can help.
