Leading Edge Fabrications

Structural Steel and Sheet Metal Fabrication, Parts and Assemblies:

Pickwick specializes in sheet metal fabrication, structural steel fabrication and sheet metal assembly for our customer's production lines. We are equipped with lasers, turret punches, tube benders, CNC brake presses to 1250 tons, machining, and AWS - qualified welding. We can also provide either wet or powder painting before assembly.

While much of our output is JIT or Kanban production of individual parts, Pickwick's 30 - 45 ton cranes, 50 ft. ceiling height and 80 ft. wide bays can accommodate large metal component manufacturing as well. Our heaviest weldment to date has been a mobile rock crusher weighing 140,000 lbs.

Pickwick serves clients that manufacture equipment for the agriculture, construction, environmental, transportation and processing industries. Our ideal customer is a well-established OEM seeking a source for continuous flow of whole goods or part families supplied on demand to their or their customer's doorstep.
