Equipment & processes

The machines and processes our partner shops run, grouped the way a part moves through the shop: cutting, forming, joining, finishing, and machining. Jump to a process:

Cutting

Every fabricated part starts as a cut blank. Our partner shops cut carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum, from thin-gauge sheet to heavy plate.

CNC laser cutting of sheet metal

Laser & plasma CNC cutting

CNC laser cutting for precise profiles, small holes, and fine detail in sheet metal, and CNC plasma cutting for thicker steel plate. Typical work: flat blanks for formed parts, brackets, gussets, base plates, flanges, and nested parts for welded assemblies.

Multi-torch CNC plasma cutting of thick steel plate

Heavy plate cutting

Large-format CNC plasma tables with multiple torches cut full-size, thick steel plate for structural and heavy equipment work: base plates, lugs, side plates, and large weldment components.

Shearing & band saw cutting

Sheet and plate shearing for straight cuts and rectangular blanks, and band saw cutting for structural profiles, tubing, bar, and beams before they go to welding or machining.

Forming

Bending, punching, stamping, and rolling turn flat blanks into three-dimensional parts.

Long tandem press brake for bending steel plate

Press brake bending

CNC press brakes in many sizes, from precision machines for thin-gauge sheet metal to long tandem press brakes for heavy plate and long parts. Used for enclosures, panels, channels, angles, brackets, and formed plate components.

CNC turret punching of sheet metal

CNC punching

CNC turret punch presses for sheet metal parts with many holes, slots, louvers, and knockouts, plus CNC punching lines for heavier steel plate. Fast and repeatable for electrical enclosures, panels, perforated parts, and connection plates.

Metal stamping

Stamping for thin and thick metal across our network, including a partner plant with four presses from 1,000 to 3,000 tons for large, heavy-gauge structural parts: bumpers, cross members, chassis components, and brackets. IATF 16949 certified, with an estimated capacity of more than 10 million parts per year.

Plate rolling machine forming a steel plate cylinder

Plate rolling

Plate rolls form steel plate into cylinders and curved sections for tanks, ducts, hoppers, shells, and structural components.

Welding & assembly

Robotic welding cell

Manual & robotic welding

Certified welders and robotic welding cells, from small sheet metal assemblies to large structural weldments. Robotic cells bring consistency to repeat production; manual welding covers heavy, complex, and low-volume work. Structural welding to AWS D1.1 where your project specifies it.

Self-clinching PEM nuts installed in sheet metal

PEM fastener insertion

Self-clinching nuts, studs, and standoffs pressed into sheet metal, giving thin panels strong, reusable threads without welding. Common in enclosures, chassis, and electronic cabinets.

Finishing & heat treatment

Powder coating a sheet metal enclosure

Powder coating

Batch booths or continuous lines, in the color and finish your specification calls for. A durable, even finish for enclosures, cabinets, racks, fixtures, and outdoor equipment.

Steel parts after hot-dip galvanizing

Hot-dip galvanizing

Zinc coating for long-term corrosion protection of structural steel and outdoor parts. Kettle 1.5 m wide × 3 m deep × 12.6 m long, for parts up to 5 tons, per ASTM A123 and ISO 1461.

See galvanizing services
Heat treatment furnace with a large steel part

Heat treatment

Heat treatment of steel parts and weldments, in furnaces sized for large components. Tell us the treatment and properties your drawing calls for, and we'll match the part to a shop that can run it.

Machining & engineering

Large CNC machine finishing a heavy steel weldment

CNC machining

CNC lathes, vertical machining centers, and large machines for big weldments and castings, for turned parts, flanges, shafts, gears, and housings, and for finish-machining fabricated parts to tolerance. One partner shop alone runs more than 30 lathes and vertical machining centers.

Engineer measuring a part against technical drawings

Engineering support

Help turning drawings, samples, or worn parts into a part that can be built: drawing review and reverse engineering of existing parts.

Machined aluminum die cast part

Die casting & packaging

Aluminum die casting with an in-house foundry and machining, plus product packaging to your requirements before shipping.

See die casting capabilities

Common questions

What metals can your partner shops work with?

Carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum, from thin-gauge sheet metal to heavy steel plate, plus abrasion-resistant (AR) wear plate for heavy equipment parts.

Can one supplier handle cutting, forming, welding, and finishing?

Yes. We match your part to a shop, or a group of shops, whose equipment covers the full route, from cutting and forming to welding, coating, or galvanizing, so you deal with one point of contact.

Do you take low-volume and custom work?

Yes. Our partner shops take on custom, one-off, and low-volume fabrication as well as larger production runs, built to your drawings or specifications.

What do you need to quote a part?

Your drawings or specifications, the material, the quantity, and any finish or standard the part must meet. If you only have a sample or a worn part, tell us; reverse engineering is available.

Where are the shops, and where do you ship?

Our partner shops are in the industrial corridor of Coahuila, in northeast Mexico, and ship worldwide, with the large majority going to the United States.

Not sure which process fits your part?

Tell us what you're building and we'll match it to the right shop and process.
