Northridge Metal Fabrication LLC

About Northridge Metal Fabrication LLC

Northridge Metal Fabrication LLC operates from Ludington, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Michigan. The company traces its roots to 1965 when it was founded as Kaines Of West Michigan. In 2022, long-time customer and supplier Design Manufacturing LLC acquired the business and rebranded it Northridge Metal Fabrication LLC, maintaining the existing workforce and structure while adding greater resources. The company remains privately owned. The shop specializes in precision fabrication of wire and sheet metal products, offering custom design, prototyping, and full-scale manufacturing. Its equipment lineup includes computerized laser cutters, cutoff machines, benders, multislides, presses up to 120 tons, resistance welders up to 400 KVA, and an automated powder coat finishing system. In-house tooling capabilities support new projects and expedited delivery. The facility employs 75 workers and has completed over 3,000 projects. Customers range from the largest fixture companies and manufacturers to small regional firms. Northridge Metal has worked directly with fixture companies that supply all major retail chains, as well as a wide variety of product manufacturers. The company emphasizes its small-town values, personalized service, and quick response times as key differentiators. Its management team brings over 100 years of combined experience, and the in-house engineering staff works from concept through shipping to deliver solutions tailored to customer needs, budgets, and schedules.
