Custom Metal Fabrication Shop and Sub-Fab Partner

Georgia Industrial Metal Fabrication Equipment & Precision Services

PEC keeps Georgia plants running with advanced industrial metal fabrication equipment that shapes, welds, and finishes parts to tight tolerances. Our shop features high-tonnage press brakes, automated saws, and precision rollers – all maintained for repeatable accuracy.

Skilled fabricators pair these machines with decades of hands-on know-how, turning rough drawings into parts that fit the first time. From simple brackets to multi-stage assemblies, every step follows clear checklists and safety rules.

You get reliable delivery, fewer rework delays, and full material traceability – essential when your project can’t afford surprises on the floor or at the inspector’s desk.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Expertise – From Laser Cut to Plasma Cutting

PEC – Custom Metal Fabrication parts

PEC’s sheet metal fabrication line handles stainless, carbon, and aluminum with ease. Our cutting station includes laser tables for surgical edges and plasma cutting beds for thicker plates, ensuring the right tool meets the right spec.

Nested programs reduce scrap, while automatic deburring leaves edges smooth and ready for the next process. Those efficiencies drop waste and shorten lead times, benefits that show up in your budget and on your delivery dates.

Whether you need a one-off laser-cut prototype, a thousand plasma-pierced panels, or a sheet metal fabrication run that ties into a larger custom metal fabrication assembly, our flexible workflow delivers consistent parts without shuffling your schedule. Material specs, cutting tolerances, and quantity all factor into how we sequence the work; the goal is consistent parts that match your engineer-of-record’s spec and arrive when your project schedule needs them.

Materials and Specialty Capabilities

PEC’s custom metal fabrication covers the materials and specialty processes that industrial scope demands.

Materials We Run:

  • Stainless steel for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable
  • Carbon steel for industrial frames, equipment platforms, and weldments
  • Aluminum for lightweight structural work, machine guards, and components where weight matters
  • Alloy and specialty metals for higher-temperature and higher-strength applications. If you have a material spec, send it.

Specialty Capabilities:

  • FDA food-grade equipment and process piping, including sanitary tube welding with polished seams and food-grade surface finishes
  • Pressure-rated fabrication, including pressure manifolds and pressure-rated weldments. Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing in-house where the spec calls for it
  • Process piping fabrication, including carbon, stainless, and alloy piping with material traceability documentation that travels with the work
  • Structural and architectural metal, including mezzanines, platforms, equipment frames, and architectural finishes coordinated through our structural steel division when the scope crosses into structural work

Custom Metal Solutions Backed by Quality Product and Process

Every order begins with a design review where engineers translate your concept into shop-ready files. That attention to detail produces a quality product that bolts up cleanly and stands up to daily stress.

Our welders hold AWS certs in TIG, MIG, and flux-core processes, joining everything from thin-gauge skins to heavy tube frames. For food or pharma projects, sanitary beads and polished seams come standard.

From enclosures to pressure manifolds, PEC’s custom metal builds resist corrosion, hold tight tolerances, and look factory-fresh even after years of service.

Metal Fabrication Services – Full Scope, One Roof

Industrial Metal Fabrication Equipment

We are a single-source custom metal fabricator from cut flat to finished assembly. Core services include forming, machining, welding, painting, and light mechanical build-out, all in-house, all under one PM. Having every stage on the same shop floor means faster hand-offs between operations, better communication between estimating and production, and fewer transit risks between sub-vendors. 

Your prints stay secure, your delivery date stays firm, and the same project manager you talked to during the bid is the one calling you when the job is ready to ship. For projects that require it, we provide dye-penetrant, hardness, and pressure checks before shipment, one more layer of assurance that the part you receive is production-ready.

Safe, Efficient Workflows That Protect People and Projects

Great parts require great practice. Daily audits verify machine guards, lifting plans, and PPE compliance, stopping problems before they reach the floor.

Material moves follow color-coded lanes, and job travelers list torque specs, weld maps, and inspection points. Everyone – from operator to inspector – knows the exact status of each part in real time.

These steps create a steady rhythm that finishes jobs quickly while keeping accidents at zero, giving you peace of mind alongside dependable parts.

Industries We Support with Metal Fabrication

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - tanks

PEC’s custom metal fabrication crews work across the same markets our other divisions serve. 

  • Industrial manufacturing. Equipment frames, machine guards, and assemblies for production lines.
  • Industrial food and beverage manufacturing. FDA food-grade equipment and sanitary stainless work.
  • Automotive manufacturing. Fabrications for stamping, paint, and assembly lines and for automotive supplier component work.
  • Bio-science manufacturing. Stainless work for regulated environments where documentation and finish quality matter.
  • Data center construction. Equipment platforms, dunnage frames, screen walls, and the structural fabrications that surround DC mechanical and electrical equipment. See our data center subcontractor page for more.
  • Construction general contractors. Sub-fabrication scope for the GC’s overall industrial expansion or build-out package.

How Custom Metal Fabrication Projects Get Scoped

Custom metal fabrication projects come in with a range of starting documentation. Some buyers send a finished CAD package and a clear delivery date. Others send a sketch on the back of a quote sheet and need help thinking through the tolerance the application actually requires. Both are workable; the difference is in how much front-end conversation is needed before the shop can quote a real number.

The information that helps a custom metal fabrication shop quote accurately, in rough order of importance:

  • Drawings or DXFs of the part or assembly
  • Material spec, including grade or alloy if known
  • Quantity, including whether it is a one-off, a small batch, or a recurring production run
  • Tolerances on critical dimensions and any inspection requirements (dye-penetrant, hardness, pressure testing, and so on)
  • Welding and finish requirements, including any food-grade, sanitary, or pressure-rated specifications
  • Delivery date and any production blackout periods to plan around
  • Any code or compliance references your engineering team is working to

If your project is at an earlier stage and some of this information is not yet defined, that is fine. Send what you have. Our estimators can work through the front-end clarification with you and help you figure out what level of fabrication scope makes sense for the application.

Common Custom Metal Fabrication Project Types

Custom metal fabrication scope shows up in a handful of recognizable categories. The work plant managers, GC PMs, engineering firms, and steel fabricators typically bring to a custom metal fabrication shop falls into one or more of these:

  • Retrofit brackets and machine guards. Single-piece or small-batch fabrications for equipment modifications. Drawings come in as PDFs or DXFs.
  • Sanitary stainless equipment frames and skids. TIG-welded sanitary stainless work for food and beverage, dairy, and bio-science applications.
  • Pressure manifolds and process piping spools. Carbon, stainless, and alloy piping. Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing in-house.
  • Mezzanine deck plate, equipment platforms, and dunnage frames. Structural fabrications coordinated with our structural steel division when the scope crosses into structural work.
  • Architectural-grade laser-cut panels and decorative metal. Laser cutting on sheet for industrial and commercial visual elements.
  • Sub-fabrication overflow work for other steel fabricators. Plate, brake-press, and welding overflow capacity. We ship to your tolerances under your customer relationship.
  • Custom assemblies and weldments for new production equipment. Multi-stage fabrications that combine cut, form, weld, and finish operations.

If your project does not look like any of these, it probably looks like a combination of two or three. Send drawings and we will work through where the work fits.

Why GCs and Steel Fabricators Choose PEC’s Fab Shop

Two-Shift Capacity for Sub-Fabrication Overflow

PEC’s Python X plasma profile cutter runs two shifts. Most regional fabricators run one. When a shop hits machine-hour capacity, we can take the parts that match our profile, ship to your tolerances, and stay out of your customer relationship. Send DXFs, get a clean handoff. That capacity matters when the delivery date does not move.

AWS Certified Welders and Substantiated Quality

PEC’s welders carry AWS certifications across TIG, MIG, and flux-core processes, with sanitary beads and polished seams that come standard on food and pharma work. Dye-penetrant, hardness, and pressure testing happen in-house where the spec calls for it, and the material traceability documentation that travels with the parts is built to survive the engineer-of-record review and the audit trail your QA team needs.

Multi-Trade Integration That Other Fab Shops Cannot Match

Custom metal fabrication rarely lands by itself on an industrial site. The fabrication ties to mechanical piping, structural steel, electrical scope, and controls integration. PEC’s mechanical services division, structural steel division, and electrical and controls division work in the same building as our fabrication crews. Most fab shops stop at the dock; we run the trades that surround the steel.

30+ Years of SE US Industrial Track Record

PEC has been running industrial fabrication work across the Southeast for thirty plus years, with a 150-plus team based at our 70,000 square foot Covington shop. The track record stretches from a single retrofit bracket to a full skid of machine bases, and that range is what earns a spot on a preferred-sub list and brings repeat business from plant managers and steel fabricators who have already worked with us.
