PB Metal

About PB Metal

PB Metal Fab, an employee-owned metal fabrication job shop, was founded in 2010 in Ipswich, South Dakota, near the regional hub of Aberdeen. The company began with a focus on providing high-quality parts and fabrication services across the Midwestern states. Operating from a 110,000-square-foot facility built in phases—a 40,000-square-foot plant in 2012 and a 67,000-square-foot expansion in 2024—the shop runs flat-sheet and tube lasers, a 150-metric-ton press brake, 20-by-40-inch machining centers, an 8-inch four-roll plate roller, in-house shot blasting, and automated material storage. Its service list covers fiber laser cutting, water jet cutting, CNC forming, machining, plate rolling, welding (aluminum, stainless, mild steel), shot blasting, material sales, and CAD/CAM support. The company serves a diverse customer base throughout North America, though specific industry sectors are not publicly detailed. Its capabilities are geared toward clients needing precision cutting, forming, and post-processing of metals and non-metals such as marble and granite. PB Metal Fab emphasizes a customer-driven approach, citing prompt, cost-effective delivery and a single-source workflow from cutting through finishing as key differentiators.
