About Bauer Sheet Metal & Fab

Bauer Sheet Metal and Fabricating, Inc. has operated from Scottville, Michigan since 1932. The company began as a sheet metal and steel fabrication shop and has expanded to offer on-site installation services alongside its manufacturing operations. Today the firm provides precision sheet metal fabrication, structural steel fabrication, and industrial installation. Its manufacturing capabilities include forming, shearing, punching, sawing, flame and plasma cutting, laser cutting, MIG and TIG welding (including food-grade), finishing such as painting, polishing, and powder coating, and secondary machining. The shop runs equipment such as Eagle, Bertsch, and Wysong power rolls, Cincinnati and Wysong shears, a Kamatsu Rason KCR 1251 flame cutter, Hypertherm plasma systems, Bystronic laser cutters, and a Fabriline 60-ton punch. Ultrasonic thickness testing is used for quality verification. The company operates from two locations with an experienced staff, though headcount and annual volume are not disclosed. Bauer serves the marine and offshore sector under American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) certification, delivering wheelhouse expansions, stack replacements, hull and structural repairs, galley replacements, and custom railings and stairways. For the mining industry, it builds MSHA-compliant equipment including pollution control and dust collection systems, material handling equipment, and structural steel and sheet metal designs. The company also serves food-industry material handling systems, providing custom fabrications such as kitchen hoods, stainless countertops, and flashing, and handles barge repair and general manufacturing repair work. The company emphasizes customer service as its top priority and maintains certifications from the American Welding Society (AWS) and ABS. It differentiates itself through its certified welding, ultrasonic thickness testing, MSHA-compliant mining fabrication, and the ability to handle projects of all sizes from two Michigan locations.
