Manufacturing requires the right team and the right tools. We pride ourselves on the experience and talent of our team, and on our investment in the most reliable, precise equipment from trusted brands like O-Max, Milltronics and Haas.
Machining
The Machining Department provides full machine shop capabilities, offering waterjet technology, welding, forming, grinding, press brake, and both CNC and manual mills and lathes. We classify ourselves as a job shop that can accommodate prototyping, one piece runs, and both low and medium quantity production runs. Our toolmakers are degreed professionals proficient in autoCAD who hold extensive experience in the field. Our material capabilities include stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, plastic, and more. Our work may be found in industries such as nuclear, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, consumer products, general construction, glass, and general industrial. We are located in Columbia, South Carolina, but our clients operate throughout the United States.
Fabrication
The Fabrication Department is an experienced producer of custom components for manufacturing and stainless fabrication of food service equipment. We have waterjet and CNC table cutting capability, and CNC forming to ensure accuracy and repeatability. Our engineers work very closely with our fabricators to design and build feasible solutions for the fabrication customer.
WaterJet
Our waterjet capability is a compliment to all facets of our business. The ability to cut a wide range of materials including steel, titanium, carbon fiber, plastic, rubber, glass, wood, stone, ceramics, composites, and more gives us a unique in-house capability that many shops our size don’t have. Our new Omax Maxiem 2040 has an overall cutting envelope of 6’ 7” x 13’ 10”, which sets us apart from the smaller 4×8 or 5×10 machines. The Z-axis travel is 12” so we can handle thick material with precision accuracy of plus or minus three thousandths; and repeatability of plus or minus one thousandths. We are very excited about this new capability and look forward to serving our existing customers in this capacity and finding new opportunity as we continue to grow.
