About Metal Fab Guys, LLC
Metal Fab Guys, LLC operates from a 15,500-square-foot facility in Walker, Louisiana. The company was launched by Michael Hackley, a U.S. Air Force veteran (SSGT, 1985–1994) who founded BBQGuys in 1998 and grew it into a $300 million business, and Richard Stewart, who led product design and supply chain at BBQGuys and co-designed the Blaze grill brand. Both brands were sold in 2020. The pair founded Metal Fab Guys to bring automated, domestic metal fabrication to OEMs and the outdoor-living market. The shop provides end-to-end sheet metal manufacturing: sheet and tube laser cutting (using Hans fiber lasers and a Hans TSA rotary tube laser), forming and bending on AMADA CNC press brakes, MIG, TIG, laser, and robotic welding, in-house powder coating, and assembly with kitting and custom packaging. The same facility produces the company's own line of premium grills, fire pits, and outdoor kitchen systems. Primary customers are OEMs and commercial businesses needing precision sheet metal parts, as well as consumers and dealers purchasing the Metal Fab Guys outdoor cooking products. The company emphasizes domestic production for quality and supply-chain reliability. Leadership cites veteran ownership combined with 32-plus years of manufacturing experience, a "30-year standard" for vetting every product, and fully automated cutting and welding cells as differentiators. The business was started to fill a niche for U.S.-based automated fabrication that can scale from prototypes to large production runs.
