About Metal Fab Engineering

Metal Fab Engineering operates from Winamac, Indiana, where it was founded in 1976 as a small fabrication shop by Paul Ezra and his wife Mary Lou. The shop runs four automated lasers capable of cutting carbon steel up to 1 inch, stainless steel up to 3/4 inch, and aluminum up to 1/2 inch. Its forming department includes over 20 press brakes, highlighted by a 225-ton press with an 8-foot bed and a 175-ton CNC unit with 12-foot beds. Robotic and manual welding cells handle welded subassemblies and final assemblies, while an in-house powder coating line provides durable finishes for low-to-mid volume runs. The company also offers value-add engineering, CAD-based design consulting, and a domestic-first procurement service. Annual output reaches hundreds of thousands of parts. Its customer base includes companies that require precision laser-cut components, formed brackets, welded frames, and finished assemblies delivered through a single-source supply chain. The company emphasizes problem-solving expertise backed by more than six granted patents and multiple pending applications. Its family-owned structure drives a culture of integrity and long-term partnership, recognized by a 2023 Safety Award of Honor from the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association. A domestic-first sourcing platform and in-house finishing further differentiate its offering.
