A.I.M. provides metal fabrication, welding, powder coating, assembly, and packaging services under one roof. Its semi-automated powder coat system features one of the largest part windows in Iowa, accommodating parts up to 5 feet by 7 feet by 9 feet (expandable to 6.5 by 12 feet) and 400 pounds per hook.
