For most projects, sheet metal fabrication is not the final step. After the prototype phase, then production, your sheet metal part must receive the proper finishing touches to be ready for market, such as sheet metal assembly.
Despite this demand for quality secondary operations, many metal fabrication facilities don’t offer them in-house. This leaves businesses with the challenge of finding another production partner to finish out their projects, increasing their costs and delaying their market entry.
Some facilities, including Metal Works, Inc., go the extra mile and offer high-quality secondary services in-house. Read on to explore the benefits of in-house sheet metal assembly services and how our team can support your project needs from start to finish.
What are In-House Secondary Operations?
Many facilities cannot offer secondary operations in-house, which becomes an additional expense and roadblock for businesses to handle as they seek alternative options. When a metal fabrication facility offers in-house secondary operations, its team is capable of finishing your project under one roof. They have the space, team, and tools to deliver high-quality finishing touches to your products, such as sheet metal assembly or painting.
These services require highly specific capabilities and a skilled team to carry out your needs and ensure a high-quality final result. The specific in-house secondary operations offered differ for each fabrication facility. At Metal Works, we offer sheet metal assembly, finishing, and inventory management. With a full-service, 15,000 sq ft. in-house painting facility and advanced automation-driven assembly, we’re prepared to complete your project in-house every time.
Benefits of In-House Sheet Metal Assembly and Finishing Services
Save Time
After prototyping and fabrication, finding a new facility to complete sheet metal assembly or other finishing services can be time-consuming and difficult. Finishing out your projects with in-house sheet metal assembly or other secondary services shaves off valuable time in the production process.
For businesses utilizing metal fabrication services to produce a part or product, time is of the essence. The longer it takes to finish your part, the longer it takes to enter the market. Turn towards a fabrication partner that can complete your projects under one roof to keep your project within your necessary timeline and get to market faster.
Save Money
The longer a project stretches on, the more expenses can grow. Delays to market can be costly, and finding an additional facility to handle sheet metal assembly and finishing services if your original fabrication facility doesn’t have the capabilities to execute them can also ramp up the expenses of finishing your project.
Keep costs low and timelines tight by choosing in-house sheet metal assembly. When you partner with a facility that can support your needs from start to finish, you can count on greater efficiency and speed, helping you save money.
Achieve Greater Quality Control
When you partner with the same fabrication facility for every stage of your project, from prototyping to sheet metal assembly, you can enjoy greater quality control over the entirety of the process.
Form Long-Lasting Partnerships
Partnering with a high-quality sheet metal assembly and fabrication provider allows you to form a long-lasting relationship that can carry through for future project needs. Fabrication facilities that offer in-house secondary services are better equipped to support your needs from start to finish due to their versatility and depth of skill.
Should your needs change from project to project, you can count on your chosen partner to have the capabilities and commitment to serve you. Next time you need new metal parts and require assistance, you will already have a one-stop facility to turn to, with the quality you trust at every stage.
