Industrial Metal Fabrication for Manufacturers
Machine guarding, equipment platforms, conveyor frames, chutes, hoppers, and custom industrial assemblies — fabricated by MPI for plants across the Southeast.
Built for the Plant Floor
Industrial environments are unforgiving. The metal in them takes abuse from process equipment, forklift traffic, washdowns, and chemical exposure. MPI Fabrication builds for that reality — heavy-gauge structural assemblies, abrasion-resistant guard housings, and corrosion-resistant stainless when the application demands it.
Our shop is set up for the full industrial scope: laser cutting up through 1" plate (with subcontracted thick-plate capacity beyond), press brake forming on long runs, MIG and TIG welding to AWS standards, and post-fab finishing including powder coat partners.
- Machine guarding, safety enclosures, lock-out access doors
- Equipment platforms, mezzanines, stair runs (with engineered shop drawings)
- Conveyor frames, chute work, hoppers, transition assemblies
- Custom assemblies built around your existing process equipment
Engineering & Drawing Coordination
Most industrial fabrication starts with imperfect drawings. MPI's team reviews shop drawings, flags conflicts with existing equipment, and coordinates with your plant engineers before metal gets cut. Cost: zero. Value: catastrophic-rework prevention.
- Engineering-stamp coordination available through partner engineers
- Field-condition verification before fabrication on existing-plant retrofits
- AWS-certified welding on structural and code-driven assemblies
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what contractors most often ask before partnering with MPI Fabrication.
What thicknesses can MPI fabricate?
In-shop laser cutting handles up to 1" mild steel; press brake forming handles up through ¾" depending on bend length. Thicker plate work is sourced through partner shops and finished in-house.
Can MPI fabricate stainless duct and equipment for food / sanitary applications?
Yes. We fabricate 304 and 316 stainless for sanitary processing, dust collection, and washdown environments, with continuous welds and TIG-finished seams when specified.
Do you ship and install or just ship?
MPI ships nationwide via freight; we partner with installation crews in the Southeast for projects requiring installation. Specify when you submit for quote.
