Send us your drawings and quantities and we will quote it. Bring us the problem instead and we will engineer the whole system, build it, and install it. Forty-five years of contract manufacturing for industrial plants across central Pennsylvania.
Contract manufacturing is straightforward: you own the design, and we own building it. You send a drawing, a specification, or a part you need copied. We price it, schedule it, and produce it to spec.
Two kinds of work come through here in roughly equal measure. One is parts. You have drawings and a quantity, you put the job out for quote, and you need a shop that will hit the print, hold the schedule, and give you the same part on the tenth run as on the first. The other is systems. You have equipment, a plant condition, and no drawing for what connects them, and you need someone to engineer it, fabricate it, install it, and tie it in.
This is the most efficient way to get your firm quote. When you know exactly what you want and have the application(s) to provide the necessary detail, we can provide a quote quickly and avoid delays with back-and-forth questions. DXF and DWG file submittals are a great way to expedite the quoting and production processes. This works best for parts that you already have and/or will be reordering.
If you have an idea of what you need but are not sure how to make it happen, we can help by providing in-the-field services. We will visit your facility, take measurements, discuss options, and provide CAD drawings for your projects. This is a great way to design retrofits, as well as provide tie-ins to existing equipment or completing systems. Our versatility allows us to work with the equipment manufacturer of your choice.
If you have a part but don't have the ability or confidence to provide a drawing or dimensions, we can replicate your sample piece. We take your sample; evaluate materials, measure to spec, and provide a CAD drawing for the part. This is a great option for those obsolete parts, components from an out-of-business supplier, or a part that has never been documented/drawn from the beginning.
This is a good approach to the smaller but equally as important as any other job that may include repairs, rework, or maybe a job that is 'unknown' until it is opened up to see what it entails. Time and materials are simply calculated thru actual costs rather than a fixed price.
Most of our work is competitively bid. You send an RFQ, we price it against the same drawings every other shop received, and we win it or we do not. Here is how to make that go quickly.

Plan and spec work: Send the full package and we will bid it. We will also coordinate with whichever equipment manufacturer you have selected, so the fabrication and the equipment arrive matched instead of arriving as two separate problems on your floor.

A lot of the best work here is the same part, over and over, right every time. You send the print and the quantity, we quote it, and once a job is running we keep the setup so the next order goes out faster than the first.
We build to your print and we do not redesign it. You keep the drawing, the tolerances, and the intellectual property. Our job is to hit the specification, hold the schedule, and make part number one hundred identical to part number one.
Quantities run from a single prototype to full production. What we are built for is the reorder.
The other half of what we do is systems. When a plant adds equipment, upgrades a line, or puts a project out to bid, the job is often not a part at all. It is a system that has to be designed around equipment already running, fabricated to fit, installed on a live plant floor, and tied into the roof and the existing ductwork. One contract, one schedule, and one company accountable for all of it.
Trim and scrap extraction is a specialty here. When a plant adds a baler or a conveyor, something has to move the trim from the production equipment to the new system, and that connecting work is rarely on anyone’s drawing. We design and build the whole path: cyclones and cyclone stands, blower fans sized to the actual airflow and static pressure, electrically operated switch valves so a plant can run old and new systems in parallel, baler chutes, filtered discharge plenums, and all the interconnecting ductwork. Roof penetrations, curbs, and patching the old cutouts are part of the job, not a separate trade you have to hire.
Most of our contract work runs for plants that process material at volume and generate dust, trim, or scrap doing it:
If your operation makes dust or trim, we have almost certainly built something for a plant like yours.
What is on the floor determines what we can take on:
We work in carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, and galvanized, along with specialty alloys including AR abrasion-resistant plate, HSLA, and heat and corrosion resistant alloys for high wear and high temperature service.
We also cut materials most metal shops send away. Our waterjet runs industrial plastics including UHMW, HDPE, PVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, nylon, and Delrin, plus gasket stock in neoprene and silicone. That covers machine guards, wear plates, chute and slide liners, chain guides, shims, and insulators. If a job needs a liner or a gasket cut to match a flange we are already fabricating, it does not go to a second vendor.
We fabricate in the shop and install in the field. For a plant manager that means one contract, one schedule, and one company accountable when the system has to run. Nothing gets handed to a second contractor at the loading dock, and nobody gets to point at the other trade when a dimension does not line up.
We supply material and mill certifications on request, and we weld to the standards our customers specify. Where a contract requires a specific certification or qualification, we obtain it for the project.
With ample crew between the shop floor and the field crews, we can run production and send a crew out to install it.
Based at 410 W 2nd Ave in South Williamsport, with shop and field crews working across Lycoming, Tioga, Columbia, Bradford, Sullivan, Clinton, Montour, Union, Northumberland counties and more.
Field installation is concentrated in that nine county footprint. Shop fabrication ships anywhere, packaged and labeled to arrive ready to install.

Send us your RFQ. A drawing, a sample, a photo, or a description of what you are trying to solve is enough to start. If it is easier to walk the floor, we will come to you.
