Stainless Steel Fabrication
Our company started back in 1952 as a heating and cooling contractor in Rock Island, IL. We’ve since grown into a 350 employee operation with buildings in Rock Island and across the Mississippi River in Iowa. Over the decades, the company has remained family owned and has expanded into many other fields such as:
- Liquid and dry tank and hopper manufacturing
- Work platforms, catwalks, and stairs
- Source capture fume removal
- Sanitary welding
- Forming
- Laser cutting
- Industrial field fabrication and rigging
- Part manufacturing and prototyping
- Commercial HVAC, electrical and plumbing, pipefitting
- Boiler and chiller system engineering
- Plant design, floor planning
- Fiberglass ducting
- Machining
The most important result of our company growing into all these different fields is that we are extremely vertically integrated and control quality through every step of the process. Where other fabricators might need to have a part designed off site, our in-house engineers can draw it and show you a 3D computer generated model. Our laser cutting and machining departments will create the parts our fabricators will then form and weld to make your finished piece, or the parts that will come together to become a larger machine or plant.
Having all these skill sets under one roof gives us the unique ability to handle almost anything in house, but we are also very proud of our vendor-partners who we work with on portions of projects which entail things like automation and control panels, pumps and instrumentation.
We typically work with stainless steel, mild steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium, but we are flexible if you require a different material. We TIG and MIG weld, depending on the requirements of the customer and application.
We are also an excellent choice if your company is looking to outsource the manufacturing of parts of your product. We have many customers who have been able to streamline their process by simply ordering large numbers of parts from us that they use to assemble their product. A typical job for a customer like this might be a piece of metal with holes in specific places, or it might have other metal sections welded to it or portions bent to a specific angle. We can send them in any quantity, and can paint or powder coat them as well.
We do a lot of work in the brewing and distilling industries which require both sanitary welding and for the equipment to be absolutely beautiful. You can learn more about the work we do in that division at brewtanks.com.
