Ideal Fabricators Inc

About Ideal Fabricators Inc

Ideal Fabricators Inc. operates from Livonia, Michigan, where it was founded in 1984 by Patrick Purdom to serve the machine tool industry across the state. The company expanded its plant and crane capacity in 1998 to handle larger fabrications and reach customers beyond Michigan. In 2003 it partnered with Statewide Boring & Machine to offer complete fabricated and machined parts throughout North America, and Statewide Boring more than doubled its plant footprint in 2011 to accommodate new CNC equipment. In 2022 the business transitioned to 100 percent employee ownership. The shop provides heavy steel plate fabrication, large CNC machining, precision plate burning, and heat-treat and straightening services. Its expanded facilities allow end-to-end production so that a single purchase order can cover fabrication, machining, laser inspection, and finish painting. While the original customer base was the Michigan machine tool sector, the company now ships to manufacturers across the United States and Canada.
