Comprehensive precision sheet metal fabricators

What began over 50 years ago as a small, family-owned business has become the premier ISO 9001-2015 registered, 104,000 sq. ft, one-stop precision sheet metal fabrication shop. From our three clean, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities based in New England, we serve start-ups to Fortune 500 companies around the world in the medical, military, environmental, and other high-tech industries.

Although our business has evolved, our values remain the same—operating on three key business principles: Capability, Quality, and Reliability. A relentless focus on customer service has earned us a reputation among generations for delivering superb quality and on-time delivery.

Sheet Metal Fabrication vs. CNC Machining

The industry’s only one-stop-shop precision sheet metal fabricators

Being the industry’s only one-stop-shop precision sheet metal fabricators means that our clients must deal with only one vendor, write only one P.O., and rely on only one partner for end-to-end production of their parts.

Creating operational efficiencies and meeting our customer’s greatest needs are the hallmarks of our business, and we are pioneers in accurately converting drawings to delivery. Utilizing the latest technologies in our two modern manufacturing facilities requires a versatile and highly-trained workforce to produce exceptionally engineered products while promising a superior customer service experience.
