Custom Metal Fabrication Services
When your project requires reliable custom metal fabrication services, you often encounter obstacles such as mismatched supplier capabilities or limited material/finishing options. Perhaps you’re an OEM needing a complex machine base, a manufacturing engineer requiring structural platforms, or a procurement specialist sourcing high-volume runs. If your current vendor can’t accommodate both prototype and production, or offers only limited material choices, you expose yourself to risk: delayed lead times, inconsistent quality, and costly re-work.
At Corson Fabricating, we eliminate those risks by offering comprehensive custom metal fabrication services that encompass, material selection, full in-house processing, finishing and delivery. Whether you need custom fabrication of steel, stainless, or aluminum components, we bring the facility, expertise and versatility to deliver on time and to spec.
Why Choose Our Custom Metal Fabrication Services?
End-to-End Capability
From initial print or sketch through to finished product, our custom steel fabrication and aluminum fabrication offerings provide a seamless workflow. We act as your single-source partner, eliminating coordination across multiple vendors and reducing turnaround time.
Proven Quality & Consistency
With decades of experience and a facility designed for both prototypes and high-volume runs, we deliver consistent quality no matter the scale. We understand that for high-intent manufacturing searches, custom metal fabrication services must guarantee performance, traceability, and supply reliability.
Versatility Across Industries
We serve a broad range of markets — automotive, aerospace, construction, food & beverage, power generation and more. That breadth means when you require custom fabrication of unique parts or assemblies, we have both the experience and the facility to deliver.
Materials We Work With
Steel
Our custom steel fabrication capabilities transform raw steel stock — hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and structural grades — into heavy-duty components built for performance and longevity. From industrial staircases and machine bases to safety fencing and support frames, we precision-form, weld, and finish each part to exacting specifications.
Stainless Steel
When durability and corrosion resistance are mission-critical, our stainless steel fabrication expertise delivers the performance your environment demands. We regularly work with grades 304, 316, and 321 to create components for food processing, pharmaceutical, marine, and clean-room applications.
Aluminum
For applications requiring lightweight strength, corrosion protection, or aesthetic appeal, our aluminum fabrication services offer the perfect balance of form and function. We machine, bend, weld, and finish alloys like 6061 and 3003 entirely in-house. From crossover platforms to intricate enclosures, aluminum allows us to engineer solutions that perform where weight and efficiency matter most.
Specialty and Supporting Materials
Beyond the core metals, Corson Fabricating works with copper, brass, hardened steel, UHMW plastics, polycarbonate, and fiberglass. This flexibility allows us to adapt to any environmental or structural challenge, proof of the versatility and quality that define our custom metal fabrication services.

Processes That Tell a Story
Rather than simply listing capabilities, here’s how our fabrication process unfolds, building the story of a project from your concept to delivery:
Quote Phase
You provide prints, sketches or simply an idea; our engineering team supports material selection, ergonomics, load-analysis and manufacturability. This applies whether you need full OEM assemblies or simple brackets.
Pre-Production & Prototype
For smaller runs or new projects, our team will manufacture a prototype or sample using our full tooling, checking fit, weld integrity, finish and functionality. The same facility later scales for production, giving you continuity.
Manufacturing Execution
Within our 30,000+ square-foot fabrication shop, we handle saw cutting, shearing, punching, drilling/tapping, bending/rolling, tube/pipe bending, MIG & TIG welding, stress relieving, heat treating, and straightening.
We have the capacity to run both one-off complex builds and high-volume PPAP-level production.
Finishing & Coating
To complete your part, we apply finishing in-house: environmentally compliant powder coating and liquid spray painting. This final step not only protects performance but also elevates appearance and longevity.
Shipment & Support
Finished assemblies are inspected and packaged for delivery. We support sourcing, inventory, and schedule-sensitive shipments, so your supply chain stays on track.
Industries Served & Why It Matters
By offering comprehensive custom metal fabrication services, we support clients across industry verticals. Some of the key sectors include:
- Automotive & OEM manufacturing — platforms, machine bases, safety fencing.
- Aerospace & defense — lightweight aluminum assemblies, stainless solutions.
- Construction & infrastructure — heavy structural steel fabrication, ladders, staircases, platforms.
- Food & beverage and industrial processing — corrosion-resistant stainless steel enclosures, material-handling systems.
- Power generation, oil & gas, pulp & paper — rugged, high-reliability parts built to spec.
By tailoring our services to such diverse industries, we demonstrate that our custom fabrication expertise covers everything from high-precision aluminum assemblies to heavy-duty custom steel fabrication.
Value-Added Services That Set Us Apart
In-house Finishing: Powder Coating & Spray Painting
When you specify custom metal fabrication services, it’s not just about fabrication. It’s about the complete deliverable. Our finishing services (powder coating and liquid spray painting) are integrated directly within our facility, enabling tighter quality control and faster lead times.
Design Assistance & Prototyping
We understand the demands placed on manufacturing engineers and sourcing professionals. That’s why we offer review and prototyping so your project moves from concept to production smoothly, and your timeline stays realistic.
Single-Source Fabrication & Finishing
Having both fabrication and finishing under one roof means fewer hand-offs, lower logistic complexity, and improved schedule reliability. This unity of services gives you a competitive edge when specifying custom metal fabrication services.
