Stainless Steel Fabrication at Crawford Biotech
At Crawford Biotech, stainless steel fabrication isn’t just a service; it’s a core strength that sets us apart. Since our beginnings in 1952 as a heating and cooling contractor in Rock Island, IL, we’ve grown into a 422-employee operation with facilities in Rock Island and across the Mississippi River in Iowa. Over the decades, we’ve remained family-owned and expanded into a wide variety of industries, but stainless steel fabrication continues to be one of the most important parts of what we do.
Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is the material of choice for many industries because of its durability, corrosion resistance, and clean finish. Whether you need sanitary welding for food and beverage applications or heavy-duty components for industrial systems, stainless steel products deliver long-lasting performance. At Crawford Biotech, we specialize in custom fabrication, ensuring every piece meets your exact specifications.
