Metal Fabrication
The Versatile Role of an In-House Metal Fabrication Shop
An in-house metal fabrication shop is a powerhouse of innovation and efficiency, handling everything from initial design to final assembly of metal components. Key functions include precision cutting of sheet metal to exact specifications, bending and forming to create custom shapes, welding for strong joins, punching and notching for fittings, and finishing processes like powder coating for durability. These capabilities allow for rapid prototyping, quality assurance, and seamless integration into larger systems, such as HVAC installations. By keeping operations internal, shops minimize delays and costs associated with outsourcing. JR Hobbs cuts through the logistics of large installations by delivering custom duct work to any job site in the southeast.
