Metal Fabrication

Since 1969, PKG Equipment has been custom fabricating equipment using carbon steel, stainless steel, and other specialty alloys. We started fabricating tanks and plating racks but expanded into many other types of fabrications such as platforms, catwalks and stairs, machine guards, and process skids. In addition to complete fabrications, we provide metal fabrication services including grit blasting, rolling, forming, shearing, and burn-off.

The success of a metal fabrication project hinges on the quality and accuracy of initial layouts and designs. Our engineering team uses their decades of experience to get the initial stages of a project correct, and our skilled metal fabricators are well equipped to get the job done safely.
