Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have complex outsourcing strategies to support their equipment production, reduce total manufacturing costs and manage their long-term risk. Our custom fabrication division offers unmatched supplier alignment for outsourcing manufacturing of fabricated steel components and welded sub-assemblies. Empire’s custom fabrication customers build equipment and manage projects that help move mountains and shape our world — from railroad and highway transportation equipment to construction equipment and complex laser systems. Our manufacturing facility is centrally located in the upper Midwest to help support original equipment manufacturers who build their products in the U.S. by supplying them with superior customer service, quality manufacturing and fabrication services.
Our custom fabrication division has earned a reputation as a leading manufacturer of fabricated steel components and welded subassemblies by contributing to our customers’ product and supply chain success. By combining efficient manufacturing processes with seamless supply chain integration, we provide you with high quality steel components and assemblies that are delivered as specified and on schedule. Empire thrives on variety – one day we will be building a large hopper assembly or rail car frame, and the next day making precision laser tool weldments or smaller wear parts. Our vast experience ensures that your finished product exceeds expectations.
We provide our OEM clients with a reliable supply of quality approved fabricated steel components, ensuring that customers have the inventory needed to maintain their production schedules. Our industry expertise and experience allow us to fabricate high quality components and products efficiently, saving costs and ensuring timely delivery.
