At Nichol McKay custom metal fabrications begin with a thorough review of customer requirements. Written requisitions of the custom metal fabrication project are sent to our sales department. A detailed quotation is then done.

The part is then passed to our engineering department who prepare the CNC packages, drawings and any special instructions to ensure smooth routing through the plant floor. The required material is ordered.

Upon receipt the material is then cut by our laser, plasma profile or punch departments depending upon the requirements. If required the cut part can then be processed in our machining centre. Frequently the next operation will be to bend the material on one of our numerous brake presses.

For larger more complex parts the next step in the process will be to fit and tack weld various components together, this can be done by our manual welding or robotic departments.

The finished product can the be sent to our paint department where it can either be painted using wet paint or powder coating.
