Capabilities — 01

Six operations, one shop floor.

Cutting, welding, machining, coating and assembly handled in sequence by one shop, so a job moves through the building instead of across town.

Process — 02

The order the light comes on.

Five steps from the first drawing to finished parts, with one shop holding the whole sequence.

  1. 01 / Drawing

    Send what you have

    A PDF, a DXF, a STEP file, a marked-up sketch — or the part that failed.

  2. 02 / Quote

    We price the work

    Send the drawing and we come back with a price for the job.

  3. 03 / Cut & machine

    The shape comes first

    Laser cutting, CNC machining and forming turn the drawing into steel.

  4. 04 / Weld & coat

    Built, then finished

    Parts are welded and dressed, then powder coated — in the same building.

  5. 05 / Out the door

    Checked against the drawing

    Assembled and checked over before the parts are handed to you.

Approach — 03

Bring us a drawing. We’ll bring the heat.

Tight tolerances, dressed edges, a coating laid on evenly. Parts are checked against the drawing before they are handed over — and that is the standard the shop works to.
